>describe people that disagree about the efficacy of Bitcoin
That's not what most people mean when they use the term.
It specifically means: people who do not own Bitcoin and are very sour to have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity and will attack it out of pure spite.
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y agoThat's not quite true. it's the mentality of "The only _possible_ reason why this person doesn't like bitcoin is that they are very sour to have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity etc." Using that kind of pejorative term for anyone who's not in the inside, is very much cult-like thinking. it's the same framing device as if I referred to "People who have turned their back on Jesus" instead of "atheists".
