    Back in the day when I was briefly into bitcoin (for the mining, which was still possible back then using GPUs) the bitcoin.org forums were mostly populated by americans who were sticking it to ‘the fed’ and had a deep distrust of authority. Some of them were seriously unhinged… I didn’t hang around there for long - only so much crazy I can cope with.

    When I saw the people in silly costumes storming the whitehouse on TV that’s exactly the kind of person I can imagine was posting on the bitcoin forums.
