 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.
