Rusty Russell on Nostr: There's a thing I saw often in the early Linux days and still see in Bitcoin ...
There's a thing I saw often in the early Linux days and still see in Bitcoin communities. People discover Bitcoin and try to wedge it into their existing special interest and extol the crossover as a discovery (rather than a construction).
I call this "Bitcoin fan-fiction". It's weird, awkward and very very human. It's also usually very easy to spot in others, never in ourselves 💛
