In short, ICOs (not all) and VCs (not all) and fiat based companies (not all) use this ecosystem to purposefully scam newcomers, people trying to learn.

As you know, many have lost so much and will never return.

So bitcoiners, including you, started speaking out against these “scams.”

The response was these scammers labeled us “toxic” when all we were doing was trying to educate people.

It stuck and it has worked.  Our voice has been relegated to the dark corners of the ecosystem.

Perhaps some got carried away and labeled reasonable projects scam, but on the whole, they did more good and likely helped many people.

Now, we are here following various hashtags and helping to grow NOSTR.

Is there a difference between a bitcoin maximalist and a toxic Bitcoin maximalist?

Point me in the direction of a few notes generated by the “toxic maxis?”
