 I keep seeing folks get confused, so I made a flowchart. I hope it helps. #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/5cbcc93ae509cfd906f51d25d83a130b26ac0bd0a767feb11c70c989f33fb417.jpg  
 Pictures please. I don’t read good. 
 On peut en détenir sans toutefois l'utiliser, juste par principes de précautions 🙏💜 
 I like it! 
 I would argue there are many people who "use" bitcoin that are definitely not bitcoiners.  
 Even though I owned Bitcoin for years, something clicked when I divested my shitcoins.🤝

It's hard to define objectively, and purity tests are subjective.

Jim Cramer owned Bitcoin for a time. Didn't make him a Bitcoiner. 🤷 
 Or maybe he was, only briefly? 
 It's possible.

My contention is there's a base knowledge or conviction level somewhere.

Once you see/feel it life changes.

In my own situation, I couldn't in good conscience keep shitcoining, or lead others down that path.

Don't get me wrong. Shitcoiners are into Bitcoin. They're into your Bitcoin, and they provide an opportunity cost that robs others of owning Bitcoin. 
 Yes I am a bitcoiner  
 There are two kinds of people: 
1. those who use bitcoin

 Every government will own and use bitcoin just like every government has websites and uses email. 
 I disagree. Someone who only accepts btc in their business, never holds keys and converts to fiat isnt a bitcoiner in my book.  
 Are they not helping with adoption more than someone who buys it and lets it sit untouched in their Coinbase account, but rants about Bitcoin on Twitter? 
 Define USE? 
 Not everyone who has a bike is a biker. And not every biker has a bike.

 indeed, I do have motorcycle :D 
 I miss that show. Underrated. 
 But everyone who uses a bike is definitely a bicyclist. 
 Love it! Life is simple 🙏
