That is Literally Gibberish.

So I was not only able to illicit a response from a Bitcoin maximalist, but the message was so dismissive and ridiculous that it really shows just how badly brainwashed maximalists are. No matter how much evidence and facts are presented they will never be able to understand how reality itself rejects their worldview.
I don't even think that bitcoin being flipped is going to change these people's mind. They will just simply decide that reality is wrong and they are correct. Prepare for extreme mental gymnastics.
I bring up the concept of velocity and how deflationary economics are known to be terrible for any economy that falls victim to it. The rebuttal? Nah, that's just gibberish not even worth a discussion. So perfect. I couldn't of asked for a better answer from a known maximalists in the space. Just wow.
There's really nothing left to say, which is good because I'm sitting here writing this while playing White Elephant. Why is it called White Elephant? Apparently an ancient king would gift these sacred animals to people he didn't like because you can't use them for work and they eat 200-600 pounds of food a day.
There's no point in trying to have a logical discussion with a maximalists. They are delusional and completely irrational. This tweet confirms that fact perfectly. Thanks Poor Man's Dan. Much appreciated.
that is a weird looking Crow !

Small minds use the word literally way too much.
Meh. My Hive account is worth more than 1BTC and there’s no way I’d trade it for the USD equivalent in Bitcoin.
Hard to engage with them but I don’t think completely giving up discussion with people is a good idea. We are at the point now because of the shouting down of opinions. I don’t know how I’d handle talking to him but I don’t think ignoring it is conducive. He responded which is cool.
Well there really isn't much you can do when they don't want to listen. They start from a conclusion then try to find a way to justify things.

Part of why I quit politics. There's no point trying to sway opinions to someone who already has a conviction. Just sit back, relax and let things unfold by itself

Most of them never even reply any alternative opinions lol.
Ahahah. You're asking for people to sum up the entire Bitcoin Standard book in a Tweet. That's never going to happen. It's a very long book and if you really want to understand that issue, you should read it yourself.
If you can't be bothered, try to find some podcasts where Saifedeen Amous talks about those issues.
But again, trying to get that whole thesis into a Tweet? You can grab a chair and get comfortable... because you'll be waiting for a really long time.
One simply doesn't sum up the Bitcoin Standard in a short answer.
Sure, but that is not the issue. The issue is that maximalists will shut down any logical discussion when the information presented does not mesh with their pre-determined narrative.
I was not asking for a summery of Bitcoin economics in a single Tweet.
I was expecting self-proclaimed scientists to do science and remain skeptical and willing to change their conclusion based on new evidence. What do I get? No, that information is gibberish not worth my time. Known facts like deflationary economics being bad are "gibberish". Pretty ridiculous really.
lol, I saw that exchange.. The problem with being a fanatic about anything, is once you have decided.. Bitcoin is the only smart money or some other position you can no longer consider new information.
I'm not a maxi fan.

Well, You can't change them, nothing can, so its best to ignore them. But I guess its impossible, as they are everywhere. I always believe deep down they actually do see the other side,but maybe they admit it only when they are sleeping not while typing or talking.
And once one embraces either, your resolve can become unshakeable, even in the face of overwhelming evidence it is time to change course.
P.S.
Merry Christmas @edicted and Thank you for your support throughout the year!
