We recently asked @grok to explain how the #BSV community is responding to recent events, especially with the justified response from #BTC, from the point of view of an anthropologist.
You may be surprised!
A thread 🧵
@clif_high Hmmm, disagree. Data on a blockchain doesn’t have value solely because of miners. Miners simply get rewarded for mining data on a blockchain. They just play the part of what banks did previously in terms of approving/stamping transactions…
In some circles, Bitcoin could be considered "boring technology."
What can we learn from other companies or brands who have successfully built fans around this?

Which do you think will be able to do this the best: BTC/BCH/BSV?
Each Bitcoin community, from BTC to BSV, has core beliefs that drive their development priorities, governance styles, and community interactions.
For instance, BTC might emphasize “decentralization” and “freedom”, while BSV may focus on scalability and enterprise utility.

In conclusion, the phenomenon of Bitcoin influencers calling Bitcoin "God" is a fascinating example of the way that humans create meaning and purpose through their beliefs and practices. And how religious habits make their way into all areas of society, even tech.
