There is an ontological "beingness" of Bitcoin, and it's money-related.
Any use case that's not a Store of Value, Unit of Account, or Medium of Exchange is fundamentally flawed.
Yes, Bitcoin is permissionless money. But the money aspect is inseparable.
An acorn has the beingness of an oak tree. You might even go so far as to extend that beyond its life to include lumber or something crafted from lumber.
But an acorn does NOT have the beingness of a porcelain toilet to store shit.
The Downfall of Shitcoins.
Please stop repeating the straw man that anyone cheering the government-backed downfall of shitcoins is antithetical to the spirit of Bitcoin.
Shitcoins are an affinity scam. And they're NOT decentralized like Bitcoin.
We will cheer the downfall of shitcoins no matter how it comes. That makes us pragmatists, not government simps.
For some, it will be hard to believe, but even anarchists can use the power of government against itself or others - to be left the hell alone. We work with what we're given.
No Moral Dilemma is Required.
Shitcoins exist to extract value from others.
There's a carve-out in the non-aggression principle to not tolerate fraud or breach of contract.
Con artists and snake oil salesmen don't need to be tolerated in some twisted liberty-purity test.
Mental Gymnastics
The LoLbertarian purity tests ARE the mental gymnastics, the intellectual laziness to repeat sound bytes of fallacy.
Thinking through what Bitcoin and shitcoins are is the antidote. See past shitcoin marketing. See past their uSe CaSeS and their emotional attacks on anyone who opposes them.
This isn't a value judgment. This is understanding the core essence of something.
F Your Feelings.
Existence is independent of our perception or feelings. Bitcoin and shitcoins simply are what they are.
When we put down the parroted catch phrases of others, we can begin to think through what they truly are.
It's Bitcoin, not shitcoins. No, not even shitcoins ON Bitcoin. The timechain is a ledger for financial records. It's not a database for content or shitcoins. Stop attacking the people who see clearly. Your emperor has no clothes.
