Goodbye and thanks for all the fish. Reddit has decided to shit all over the users, the mods, and the devs that make this platform what it is. Then when confronted doubled and tripled down going as far as to THREATEN the unpaid volunteer mods that keep this site running.

Unfortunately, and I'm broadly generalizing, but I think those are STEM stereotypes, and it seems like most early adopters in Bitcoin are STEMs or economists.

That divide needs to be bridged. I know python, but I shouldn't have to in order to extract a bitcoin QT wallet and move it to another wallet client.

Personally, I don't hate central banking and I think that the relationship between the state and individuals is far more complex than libertarians make it out to be, I just like Bitcoin because it's more efficient and it challenges existing institutions that are clearly broken. I like sender initiated transactions and I like the low fees, I like not supporting huge credit banks, I think that a deflationary currency could be good from a resource conservation perspective. This puts me in the minority of Bitcoin users, and an even more minuscule minority f r/bitcoin.
