Not everyone uses cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to get rich. Some prefer privacy coins like Monero for enhanced privacy, while others maintain a diversified portfolio of digital assets. It's okay to have preferences. However, it's not your business to dictate how others manage their money. Influence comes from meeting people where they are, not by insulting or trying to shame them into compliance. Share your experiences with Bitcoin and its benefits, but avoid pushing others before they're ready. And it's okay if they are never ready. Insults like "Have fun staying poor, shitcoiner!" are counterproductive, make you look like a douche, and turn away more people than they attract. Imagine some religious zealot saying, "Have fun burning in hell, sinner!" or a fitness coach saying, "Have fun dying early, fatass!" Most people would be turned off by that and may never speak to that person again, no matter how awesome their message or service. Remember, we're in this together against big governments and big tech that seek to erode our freedom, liberty, and privacy. Internal conflicts only benefit them, not us. When we fight each other, they win and we lose.

Good point. Divide and conquer is the oldest trick in the book. As long as you're peaceful and not a pedo, let's see if we can work together.. #nostr #nostriches #plebs #plebchain #gm #bitcoin

Goodpoint and I really feel that way to, but in fact all people resonate different. There might be a small amount of people that need a rough push like a "hfsp" to shake their foundation. This is why I am also thankful for every toxic statement. It might also be a form of insecurity to push hard on others.
It's simple. People with a lack of personality, finds in a specific group a place to be and exist, and from there think they are better than the rest and throw their wrath and anger to world. For example real Bitcoiners are humble with low profile. Not real Bitcoiners use all types of merch, repeat like parrots what they hear, and call others normies, so they can feel better with themselves. Well said

I'm unwilling to lose the Monero community as allies just because I prefer Bitcoin. I don't need to agree with them on everything, nor do I need to use it at all if I really don't want to. I think there's value in keeping an open line of communication. HFSP doesn't really do that. I'm here for freedom go up AND wealth go up. I won't apologize. But I don't see a benefit in alienating a community of people who agree with me on more issues than not. Such relationships can be mutually beneficial. I've openly adopted the same tactic for gold bugs. I try to meet people where they are and encourage the hell out of gold adoption if someone tells me that's a fiat exit they're comfortable with. After all, I was 50/50 gold and Bitcoin before I went Bitcoin only. I held Monero and shit coins before that (I actually don't consider Monero a shit coin - that's unfair, jokes aside).
