 Unpopular opinion:

Many participants in the Bitcoin community (myself included, probably) like to see themselves as great critical thinkers.

The reality is that they (we) sometimes are just contrarians and take opinions from “Bitcoin influencers” as the truth.

Thus, instead of thinking with our own minds we just take whatever is different from the mainstream thought as the inalienable truth.

We should not be parroting what other say. We must be thinking critically on every aspect, every decision and every opinion.

Otherwise we are just no better than the bots and NPCs.
