Pete Rizzo: It's precise communal for cultures to reclaim words and often cultures reclaim words that are expressly utilized arsenic insults against them arsenic a mode to venerate their culture. This is thing precise communal to astir cultures. And if you deliberation astir different civilization successful the United States, it's astir apt precise casual for you to deliberation of examples similar that.
So, I deliberation Bitcoin maximalism is thing that needs to beryllium reclaimed a spot due to the fact that I bash deliberation that we should privation to widen Bitcoin. We should privation to bash that. If we don’t … past the full happening becomes logically inconsistent.
P: You're making a constituent that it needs to beryllium much than conscionable a absorption to a connection that has a antagonistic connotation, we person to specify what it means.
Rizzo: And I deliberation the crypto satellite should not resent that, due to the fact that it is really amended for immoderate benignant of cryptographic web that we’re gathering here, it’s amended for it to beryllium built connected Bitcoin due to the fact that it’s much spot minimized, similar it benefits each bitcoin holders equally, there’s nary similar opaque, similar foundations and 3rd parties, whatever.
So if it is amended to physique thing connected Bitcoin, past the extremity of america arsenic quality beings who are aligned to the astir affirmative outlook for humanity should beryllium to physique those things connected Bitcoin… In that case, Bitcoin Maximalists are antagonistic to the … crypto world…
And my statement present would be, we’ve go precise focused connected the antagonistic stuff, we’ve go precise acrophobic astir who has done the slightest magnitude of atrocious things and what those atrocious things that you shouldn’t bash are, and past calling retired radical for those atrocious things and past shaming them for those atrocious things…

Rizzo: I deliberation that similar determination exists this weird dichotomy wherever it's, you know, if we're not doing thing arsenic a assemblage to minimize, you know, if you're not a crypto minimalist, if you're not trying to minimize the magnitude of different cryptocurrencies that are retired there, past you are enabling their usage and you're allowing them to exist.
And if they're ever going to exist, past wherefore would you formed judgement connected them? They're conscionable ever going to exist. What's the usage successful hating them? They're conscionable gonna proceed to beryllium useful. So it is really your enactment that matters, and it is existent that we tin bash everything that the cryptocurrencies are doing connected Bitcoin implicit capable clip and with capable crushed and logic, past that should beryllium the highest aspiration.
