 If “puritan” means “takes a stand to dogmatically define what it means to be a Bitcoiner,” is that materially different from your post? Aren’t you also drawing a line, albeit in a different place? Do you understand the word “puritan” differently?

I mean, the real Puritans were so committed to their beliefs that they willing to leave a land where they were being persecuted (alongside everything familiar and comfortable)  to move to America, where they managed to build it to the point that it outsmarted, defeated, and replaced the most powerful empire on earth at the time. There are way worse things for compare Bitcoiners with.
