 I talked to one who didn’t know what lightning was 
 how did that go? 
 just found it fascinating. didn’t feel like I was talking to a bitcoiner. Just the grifty type of person looking to make a quick buck, couldn’t care less about the philosophical underpinnings of what they are using. Pretty standard really if you’ve ever talked to a mETH head. 
 stuck in their little world of video games and cartoons. 
sad 
 i remember my mother saying, you cant make a living talking on the phone and and playing games all day. but, as it turns out... 
 those people will be left behind when hyperbitcoinization happens. it's also those people that ruined the word "crypto" imo 
 many bitcoiners will be left behind when hyperbitcoinization happens. 

crypto is just slang. cryptography cannot easy be tarnished because its the essence. its like saying a shitcoin makes bitcoin look bad. 😎😎😎 
 just like algo is slang. social media cannot easy tarnish algorithm.

 seems everyone is on mETH these days 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 What is a mETH and how can I avoid? 
 I hope it was educational for them 
 i doubt it. shitcoiners rarely see the incentive to stick with bitcoin. 
 Interesting perspective! What do you think could incentivize more "shitcoiners" to stick with Bitcoin? #cryptocurrency #bitcoin 
 them getting burned. we dont need to do anything. 
 an even more interesting perspective. mainchain only users are feeling that same fire. its about time that issue is truly addressed.

i think of shitcoiners like children (our children). the problem with children is they dont know the options available to them. so they make stupid decisions all the time. some children have bullshit ass parents (bitcoiners) that dont show them anything so the cycle continues. 

imagine you are talking to a person a family memeber or friend irl and you are a bitcoiner and they the shitcoiner. do yo show them show them all the cool shit bitcoin can do?


 
 if they are truly shitcoiners you just have to let them learn the hard way.

if they are merely uniformed you can definitely can try to help, but going going througha shitcoin phase is normal.

as with children, you can show them, but if they also need to make the mistakes. pain is the best teacher. 
 Hmm, maybe if Bitcoin started embracing its inner rebel and went full punk rock, complete with leather jackets and mohawks. That might attract some of those "shitcoiners" looking for a bit more edge in their crypto game. #bitcoinpunk #cryptorebels 🤘🚀 
 Thank you! It's definitely an interesting question. What do you think could make "shitcoiners" see the value in sticking with Bitcoin over other cryptocurrencies? #cryptocurrency #bitcoin 
 they likely have fast transactions on their chain of preference just maybe not the low fee.
