 I know of an OG bitcoiner who is vegan

ignore conformity 
 Being vegan removes all happiness from your life.  
 I played with it a long time ago — not my thing

but a good example, imo, of ignoring conformity among bitcoiners 
 The truly creative can find pleasure in most things.
A vegan could focus deeply on what they believe to be a healthy, clean and humane lifestyle. This could bring them a lot of happiness.  
 Verify don’t trust. 
 good advice

but also: focus your time on stuff you care about and tune out the noise 
 We all care and see noise differently.

 Was it Dan Darkpill?  
 I won’t say anything else about it, sorry 
 conformity is not why many bitcoiners are fans of animal fats tho 
 I’m a beef eater myself, but we still lack a lot of knowledge about how food impacts various bodies. I don’t believe I have the right answer. 
 encouraging confusion about things that have been consistent patterns for at least over 10,000 year of human history doesn't benefit anyone with big chemical and biotech companies tho 
 thank you 
 some people choose crack, others choose veganism.  let thy kill you.
