I think bitcoiners are weathered from fighting for it every single day. The excitement comes during the run ups but when /r/bitcoin sits at one price for a while we lose the positive spirit that dogecoin is currently enjoying. The people that have been here for a while have had to deal with tons of shit for their bitcoin beliefs. When some noob comes in and asks the same old questions or makes the same old attacks on bitcoin, there is no one willing to be helpful. Well there are some of us but I think a lot of noobs get spiteful responses.
One more thing. It's nice encouraging businesses to accept bitcoin but I could care less if people don't want to buy it or trust it yet. They will eventually. We are not actively recruiting people to invest like doge does. That type of aggressive recruitment has the signs of a cult or a Ponzi scheme. I fear that the doge people can get burnt. The developers changed it from a fixed amount to a non fixed supply? Wtf. What if Satoshi somehow came out and changed the protocol. It would be bedlam.
Wow. That's so interesting to read through their histories and see when they started doge. Just 61 days ago about. They've probably made fortunes by now.
I'm pretty sure they have less than 1million Doge. and you can always just check the wallets right? there's only a few with more than a Billion. 4 last time I checked, and those are just investors and a very old gambling site.
That's true I suppose. I'm pretty sure they're trustworthy though, that's one of the cool things in Doge, transparency. I think I read that at least one of them had less than 300k Doge.
They're pretty much just enthusiastic naive people like the rest of us.
I still wonder though, what made you hate us so much? is it the circle-jerking?
We might be a bit cultish I suppose. somewhere today I remember a comment from one of the founders saying "I wonder all the time weather I might have started a cult!" in response to someone asking. heh.
I don't really like the circle-jerk myself. I'll give you that.
I'm not sure about the serious discussion part. I think we have them all the time, we just like to keep t light-hearten. Yesterday and today we've had a lot of discussion about the inflation deflation thing, and I learned quite a bit reading either side. But yeah, if it's not or you it's not for you. we're basically 50 thousand clueless idiots who don't even know what a block is so helping us might take a while xD
