I'll add that it seems like most Bitcoiners have a bit of a persecution complex. No judgement, I've been there too. It reminds me a lot of the feminist movement though.
In the beginning, the feminists had a good argument. Under the law, women were second class citizens.
Over time they got what they wanted in first world countries, but they could never give up the idea that they were oppressed. That's how you got situations where feminists were obsessed with silly things like video game culture and how people sit on trains in the 2010's, while ignoring how comparatively amazing their lives are compared to women in the past or in other countries.
We're going to get what we want. We're going to legitimize Bitcoin as a high quality monetary asset (done), we're going to watch the whole world start to incorporate it into their financial strategies, and we're going to increase freedom and decrease the influence of the fiat, debt based system. We are going to live comparatively amazing lives.
It makes sense to think adversarially and stay vigilante, but allow yourself to win a bit too.
