Reading comprehension is sorely lacking on your part. But I’ll elaborate anyways: cult like behavior surrounding Bitcoin doesn’t mean the idea of Bitcoin is bad or necessarily cultish. I’m rooting for Bitcoin, I hope it succeeds at all its project goals. That doesn’t exonerate you for acting like a cultist, however. Pythagoras was right about a handful of noteworthy things, but his cult also believed a bunch of nonsense on top of all that. You can be right about things and still be in a cult, being in a cult doesn’t automatically make you wrong about everything - it just calls into question how you arrived at those conclusions. If you believe something fervently but can’t explain why, you’re not actually thinking for yourself.
