That's kind of the point though. It's a recognition that the fiat elites believe they are above everyone, but bitcoiners take insults and wear them as a badge of honor so they lose their power. Plenty of examples of this. Bitcoin maxi was an insult from Vitalik. Some pundit on X called everyone 80IQ. The skull of Satoshi was funded by xrp/Greenpeace to ruin Bitcoin's public image. All of them were embraced and became part of the meme culture.

I think the point was more to make us look more humble, we are just β€œplebs”, but in fact the word is so derogatory that calling us a bunch of β€œcunts” is on a similar level, maybe slightly worse. I don’t understand how this can ever give us a good look outside of our bitcoin bubble, even if we go with your explanation Ben. Obviously I wish all bitcoin businesses like @Plebeian Market all the best, but a brand name like that has a dreadful look outside of our bitcoin community bubble.

Vitalik's petty insults are nothing compared to the Fed's blatant manipulation of the monetary system, propping up elites like Powell and Yellen.
Embracing criticism like a badge of honor is primal, just like our ancestral diet of animal products.
