Everyone Who Still Believes in Bitcoin Is a Bot? Seriously?

[Bluedrem]

If you look into it, I think that those who see Bitcoin only as a fantasy economy, that is, as a baseless one, lack sufficient knowledge about the technology and may be ardent fans of the fiat economy. However, everyone should remember that no matter what assets we store, the risk is the highest in every case. Even if someone invests in the most reliable physical asset, gold, can it ensure 100% security? It is never possible.
The biggest thing is that those who are still skeptical about the performance of Bitcoin and are opposing Bitcoin. Besides, those who are refusing to accept Bitcoin despite seeing so much success of Bitcoin, there is no need to force them because if they do not hold Bitcoin, Bitcoin will not suffer any major loss. So believers, hold Bitcoin, non-believers will come later.

There is nothing new to this or such post and comments about Bitcoin. We have seen so many criticisms from people several times. Am sure many of them are still surprised that Bitcoin still exists till date and even doing better without crashing as they predicted or thought since many of them saw it like a common crypto project that will die off soon. Anyways, it's okay to criticize, it's normal and it's live. Everyone must not like a thing. After all, it isn't his money or investment nor savings. He just made his mind, and it's fine.

Think about those who came up with such thoughts and criticism some years back, probably 5 years ago and refused to invest, don't you think they would be regretting now, especially when Bitcoin was about a $120k in the market? I hope he doesn't regret this later on. Perhaps, there is still other investments, and he can do so in peace.

Farewell, man. This BTC-bot community will miss you.

While i was scrolling through Reddit today i came across this particular post displayed above. To be honest, i have no problem with someone leaving bitcoin or crypto entirely, if you don't longer believe bitcoin has value, utility, or a future, that is completely fine because everyone is entitled to their opinion, what i have problem with is presenting personal opinions as unquestionable fact or calling everyone who disagree with you a bot, gambler or fool, just like this poster from Reddit did.

He left, slamming the door loudly.   Yet he could have simply walked away without saying a word, instead of trying to prove to others that he alone was right and doing the right thing by ceasing to believe in the future of bitcoin.

The claim that bitcoin has zero use case, zero value, zero users, except speculators is simply broad from my perspective. If you argue that bitcoin utility is limited, or speculation dominates the bitcoin market or bitcoin failed to become a peer to peer electronic cash system, then it is fair enough, because those are debatable arguments. But, saying that bitcoin has no users case or zero use case without providing evidence means your are just blabbing.

It is impossible to disagree with the highlighted text, as the system no longer operates on a pure P2P basis but rather as P2E2P - meaning there is now a middleman (specifically, exchanges subject to KYC regulations) standing between users.

In one country (the Russian Federation), legislation has officially authorized the use of "app123" for international settlements in foreign trade (effective this September). This involves usage not by an individual user, but by the country itself. Thus, this fact effectively refutes the claim made by that person on Reddit.

I also don't understand the argument that bitcoin being measured in fiat somehow proves that bitcoin supporters don't believe that fiat is valuable, how could that be possible when fiat is still the dominant unit of account globally. Even those who own gold, real estate, businesses commonly measure their value in dollars, euros or other national currencies. using fiat as a measuring unit doesn't automatically mean believing fiat is a superior store of value. feel free to give your two cents on the discussion.

Fiat currencies are the universally recognized standard and a necessity for use, as there are no other options (legally speaking, for use as a means of payment). Therefore, whether one likes it or not, a valuation in fiat currency equivalents (such as US dollars) is used to ensure clarity for all participants.

It is not particularly wise to view fiat as a store of value, since it is disadvantageous to use an asset that loses value due to inflation for this purpose.

Isn't fiat actually the one which has zero value ? It's basically created out of thin air and has no real backing at all. I mean like WTF.
It's just literally paper and the government has defined it's value unlike bitcoin where the demand by the people has defined it's current value.
Anyway, there's no point debating with a person who has already made up his mind to leave bitcoin and crypto. More bitcoin left for us.

For a second, I thought the post in the screenshot was from r/Bitcoin and I thought what the hell has Theymos allowed it to become. Then I realized it was from r/Buttcoin where everyone is a shitposting troll that hates Bitcoin and crypto in general. Anybody who is still spreading conspiracies and propaganda about Blockstream and Liquid Network in 2026 has got to be mentally challenged. The person who made that post probably lost all their money investing in Bitcoin Cash or some other scam.

That folks don't need to buy in to Bitcoin. When it comes to investing, no one has the same appetite for risk and investment strategy. Everyone who has ever been involved in Bitcoin is well aware of its ability to withstand severe criticism, crashes and uncertainty. It is not as though every supporter is a bot. As they do, believers should be aware that Bitcoin does not come without risk. It's good to be skeptical, but to completely ignore for the lack of understanding of the technology and its history is also questionable. Allow people to make their own decisions time will tell which of the arguments are successful.

Bitcoin has zero use cases for some set of people and that pic in OP just proved it right, there are many people walking around with such mentality this days and no be fair it's not bad to have them around.

Something that's useful for me might not be useful for you, it's why I will never take such statements as been serious, bitcoin is useful for me in many ways, it's my savings space, it's my money privacy, it's my tools for making payments online.

It's not a must for this person talking in that pic to see Bitcoin the same way as me, he must be someone who believe that Bitcoin must be used in the same way that he believed, just because Bitcoin is decentralised doesn't mean that all it's adopters will cherish decentralisation

For me it’s not everything that someone said that’s worth paying attention to, I look at how knowledgeable the poster is from his post to know if he’s worth my time. It’s obvious that the person that made the post on Reddit is a moron, and he has no idea how bitcoin works. His ignorance is too obvious to see, so it’s best you just ignore such people and do better things with your time.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

This is not new, anyone that leaves Bitcoin or crypto usually comes up with some non fact opinion that makes them feel satisfied with their decision or that of others having them believe as them. A long time ago, I also read one comment from a Bitcoin hater, the person said that Bitcoin community is like a cult group and Bitcoiners are like zoombie.  So, I have learned that some people that no longer believe in Bitcoin turn to criticized and condemn Bitcoin, but who cares? Does their criticism and insults stop Bitcoin from moving forward? Nope, it doesn't and won't, so we should not even pay attention to it.

[BlackHatCoiner]

The fiat unit-of-account argument is brain-dead. By that logic, gold, stocks and real estate have zero value because their market price is quoted in USD. r/Buttcoin is the section for the butthurts who need emotional therapy. Calling everyone else a "bot or fool" is just the easiest way to cope with selling at a loss.

Not using Reddit is one of the best financial advice.

Just after selling off, does he realize the rest of those still holding are bots? During the time he was holding, what was he, did he consider himself a bot too, now human? When it comes to how people characterize Bitcoin, you think you've seen enough until another post comes up.

This is manipulation, with the aim of pushing others into selling, just like he did, and luring them into regrettable losses.

This was the same question that came to my mind when I saw this thread, when he was holding bitcoin did he also see himself as a bot?
Sometimes I really don’t understand how some people think, is he telling us that he has no friend or relative that is also investing in bitcoin.
I’m sure that he knows someone that is also investing in bitcoin but he is still saying people holding bitcoin are bot.
I think he’s just frustrated and with his frustration he wrote that. Believe me he knows that people that are holding bitcoin are not bot, and I’m very sure that he has friends or people he knows that are also investing in bitcoin.

Those who are frustrated in life, usually find something to blame for not being successful in life, he found bitcoin to blame.

His Reddit account on suspended, whether there is much to report, I think it does not matter.

I don't care if the haters say bitcoin to zero, there is no use, or only the material of the political elite, because not everyone is happy with bitcoin or it could be that they have waited a long time for the rise of bitcoin to finally overflow with disappointment.

Don't take the post model like the one on reddit too seriously because not everyone likes bitcoin but we still think they are stupid.

Not only him, probably many people hate bitcoin.

[citywise2]

Sorry we are too busy not to notice that one person left the community. If Bitcoin is zero this and that, I think we like it so, so much so that we will not mind selling our farms to buy Bitcoin. Either someone is blind or is lying to himself that is the only way one will fail to see or feel  the utilities and values Bitcoin have brought to the table. Just another hater of good things, no one should waste time on him.

[moneystery]

We've been fighting people like that for quite some time. So, having another one like that makes no difference. After all, these people will still think that way no matter how we explain Bitcoin, they still won't believe it and will be convinced that Bitcoin is a scam.
So, whether they want to leave Bitcoin or not makes no difference. Perhaps they feel victorious now and are proud of having such a strong stance against Bitcoin. But those people are just frogs in a well-- what can we expect from people like that.

[Dareo]

I think the weakest point of the post is the move from some valid criticism to zero use cases and zero users. There may be a lot of speculation about the price of Bitcoin, but that doesn’t mean there are no uses. Bitcoin was originally designed to be peer to peer electronic cash without a third party. And pricing BTC in USD is not about overvaluing fiat. We price almost everything in USD because that is the common unit of account. So it’s one thing to argue about Bitcoin’s current limitations and it’s another thing entirely to call those who disagree bots, gamblers or fools.
