 There are a lot of people here who claim to be Bitcoiners but then defend patents and intellectual property, i.e. state laws.

These are not Bitcoiners nor do they understand that they violate fundamental principles of individual freedom and true private property rights.

Be consistent and use products that are truly opensource, and remember that in crypto there is no room for trusting a third party, no room for a black box, no room for closed source.



 
 You’re using the internet right? 
 in “crypto” or in “bitcoin”? 🤨 
 I meant cryptography 
 Very common in Japan... 
And defend taxes, cry for regulations, etc etc. So annoying.  
 Ignore, abuse or sabotage ALL legacy systems!! 
 my best estimate is 80% does not much about blockchain or use it for payments among meme creators n general cheerleaders

that may 70% in nostr also excluding custodial zap wallet users.
 
 To me a Bitcoiner is someone who interiorize the proof of work in every aspect of their life, all their decisions are planed in the long haul and understands the importance of hard money and separation of money and state.

Someone else will have a different definition, and to be honest I don't think there is any entity entitle to say who is or who isn't a Bitcoiner 
 A Bitcoiner is anyone who's a supporter/ advocate of Bitcoin. You're stating that not everyone who uses Bitcoin is an anarcho-capitalist. 
 100%, fuck patents, fuck intellectual property, fuck copyright.

You can't copy Bitcoin. You can copy other information, end of.
