Most of my friends are non-Bitcoiners. A significant fraction are non-binary, an even larger number are neurodiverse, and many are half my age: a great variety of fascinatingly different humans!
It's OK to be weird, and it makes our world more interesting. If that makes me outside someone's "ethos of Bitcoin" I think they misunderstand what Bitcoin is for.

Bitcoin is for everyone
Bitcoin is for anyone.

There's nothing wrong with it & there's nothing that goes against the ethos of bitcoin. But expecting loyalty from the mentally unstable when times get tough is a good way to get stabbed in the back.
How many of them didn't want the unvaxxed to have access to grocery stores 3 years ago? It may end up being impossible to walk the line between the normie world & the bitcoin world at some point in the future. Knowing who is who is important.
shouldn't it be "a significant fraction is non-binary"?
I respect and admire Rusty a lot but Jeff is right here. There is nothing wrong with anything Rusty stated but it is downright dangerous to trust people that’ll just bend over for the dystopia.
This isn’t about politics per se. I would say the same thing if we had W Bush in there trampling on the bill of rights. The truth is the persuasion of people that are Raging on Behalf of the Machine is quite obvious.
Depends if their pronouns are he/she or they/them I guess?
Bitcoiners are obviously weird too. None of what you said is "against bitcoin ethos" but there does happen to be a high correlation among the non-binary & neurodiverse with socialism.
It would be pretty ignorant to claim that socialism is within the ethos of bitcoin. Bitcoin's very nature is to destroy it.
human beings need to understand the effects they have on each other
Im all for weird people but pls do not try to override biological facts with the power of imagination
Makes sense that non-binary people don't understand binary technology 😉
You're right! I should have said "a significant number".
Good point: where are the hot gay Bitcoiners at?
Weird is absolutely fine.
If a person supports individual rights and property rights then there is a chance for bridgebuilding through common values.
I think it is important to debate the problems of central planning, because nobody can know who will be in charge of a centrally planned system, let's say 10 years ahead.
Whatever interests a person have, those interests may be harmed by a central planning bureaucrat at some point.
Decentralization and free markets allows for competing visions to exist.
There's no such thing as non-binary, but I agree and like weird people too.
"Non-binary" is a non-truth and bitcoin is about finding truth. That's the only incompatibility I see. Everyone is binary, though their sexual interest varies. No amount of surgery or hormones can make you the opposite sex.
iam cat gender myself and it´s ok for an adult to make that decision 


But are you male cat gender or female cat gender?
We don't know who is in charge now. At least not in the USA and not for the past few decades.
Understanding is in the mind, we need to be OK with not understanding & connect to our heart for guidance. Our heart is our connection to that part of us that can see & understand the bigger picture. Our minds make beautiful servants, but dangerous masters.
In terms of the effects that humans have on each other, know that there is no other. There is only ever you & a reflection of you. Take nothing personally & don't judge yourself over the reflection you provided someone. You have no reason to feel guilty. Love yourself in all it's manifestations & let go the fear that your mind created.
❤️💚🧡

NO
understanding is in mind, heart, body, soul, spirit
Gender, as in "which box do I put you in" has always had exceptions. This is new to many. But I am old and sheltered enough to remember wrestling with homosexuality's existence, too.
You're talking gender, reply guy is talking sex. I don't think any forms ask for sex anymore except medical stuff.
"non-binary" is a gender term, surely...
Agreed. Live and let live
It's a bit strange that you say all this stuff about what you like personally, which is
fine, but then come in at the end about what bitcoin 'is for' as if that is the same
for everyone
Well, we know that totalitarians are in charge of Western nations.
If we want to predict the direction of our societies we have to analyse the program code of policies that our nations run by.
The UN Agenda 21 + its next goal post Agenda 2030 reveals how deep the totalitarianism runs, what its aims are and what the program code looks like.
This is why Bitcoin matters. If we lived in a free society we wouldn't need to seek out a liberty solution. Now we have no choice but to avoid a 1984 society or suffer the consequences of central planning.
Yup, weird is fine.
Why the need for extra labels like non-binary and neurodiverse though?
Human should do.
If anyone thinks that Bitcoin is some sort of magic elixir to make everyone agree on any topic in the world, ya'll are definitely crazy
I disagree
I disagree that you disagree


Agreed 👍
Non-binary means they are mentally unstable, I don't think that's ok but ok
Stop being a soyboy. These non-binaries are just morons/mentally ill.
There are only 2 genders: Male and female.
No point in distinguishing between the two for humans.
Human gender=human sex.
So, there are only 2.
Keep inventing useless words to hide these peoples uselessness and pathological narcissism. Brainwashed adolescents…
he does in higher bond
i do in heaven
Silly word games. The choice is binary: you are a man or a woman. No need to confuse the subject.
Ignoring, for the moment, that real biology is more complex than that:
Messing with people's societal expectations has always been a part of the hacker ethos. Coming from a conservative background myself, I used to find this shocking, too!
There's a lot at stake and real biology is not more complex than that, excluding birth defects. I can appreciate youthful rebellion as it was also my MO, but the tranny movement are not cool biohackers, they are mostly utterly deluded youth being misled by irresponsible adults who are so afraid of being labeled bigot or transphobe that they have conceded objective reality to appease the mentally ill.
Lol, everyone is female except for birth defects :)
"There's a lot at stake". I disagree: there are a lot of people very upset at others' choices. It's a moral panic.
I've heard all this before, too. Gotta go pray the gay away...
Is there a specific prayer? I know some people who've recited so many hail marys and our fathers to no avail /s
There used to be a high correlation of people like that and Bitcoin adoption. In Europe, most Bitcoin stickers would be on left anarchist spaces, never on anything right wing.
What is “non-binary, and “neurodiverse”?
I'm guessing you loved the Olympics opening ceremony.
When you are trying to raise kids and everywhere you look you find the elevation and worship of things that are so banal and crude, yes, it produces a dismay and moral panic, rightfully so. It's so fiat and cheap.
People born gay can recognize their mental birth defect and choose instead to use their genitals as they were intended. First step is recognizing the error.
🤣
Bitcoin: it's all about telling other people how to use their genitals!
Heh, no, just acknowledging the correct usage and not celebrating the wrong usage. You don't complement and applaud Fido when he humps a fire hydrant.
Your willingness to enforce your supreme knowledge of right and wrong is WHAT MAKES BITCOIN GREAT
I actually LOLd. 😆 Its all good Rus, this is just common sense stuff as far as I'm concerned.
You can't pray the gay away, just as you can't pray downs syndrome away. You can only pray for guidance and strength to follow the right path, rather than be indignant and double down on the wrong path.
This right path you talk about, can you elaborate more?
