“True crypto believers” seems like a loaded phrase these days because I feel like most crypto believers are riding it’s wave to legitimacy. And things like this push it further towards that goal.

I don’t see how anyone could really still believe in the original ideals behind Bitcoin. They made something but not what they wanted.

Most crypto believers, believe in crypto because they have money invested on it and want to get rich. If you remove that variable of getting rich, very very few remain.

I mostly agree. But those very very few are the ones who made Bitcoin what it is and they are very influential.

That was the early in the pumping phase when they had to build a cult around it
