How many Fiat users are Mentally Ill ?

[Bitcoinpro]

most people who use Fiat don't see technological innovations moving at speed into their lives very much, id have a guess at about 99% possibly higher

[Twipple]

Just because they don't acknowledge bitcoin, does not make them Mentally ill

Even while alone, I laughed out loud. You rock! Way to go.  I emptied my bank account and mattress a long time ago.

i often wondered the exactly opposit: how many btc'lers are mentally ill?
but its just a matter of definition of mentally illness. i'll go with the broad one: if you think all others are mentally ill you are.

Seems most of us, except you, were mentally ill before 2012

[unamis76]

Countless, certainly...

Mostly people around me. You can spot their state of mental illness based on their reaction and they way they when they stare at you when you told them about bitcoin.

[ticoti]

Maybe not mentally ill,just have to use the system becuase there is no other way to live the life without problems

[cellard]

Well, considering fiat users are like 99%... a lot.

the topic is a parody of some topic here or in the speculation saying that BTCoiners are all mentally ill people.

Sadly I can't find it

Most did not see that thread because OP is a troll and likely on many ignore lists.

I would not say mentally ill, but naive and ignorant. Basically not educating themselves how monetary system works, because there is not interest to teach this at schools, it is like teaching slaves about freedoom...

it always takes time from a innovation till entering people's lives or in other words mass acceptance and usage. it is always been like this and always will be

I like Bitcoin but that doesn't mean I give up fiat for regular use. If anything, I don't see them as competitors. Bitcoin is a good investment option but not much of a payment option as of now.

It depends: does naivety count as a mental illness?

"A mental disorder, also called a mental illness or psychiatric disorder, is a mental or behavioral pattern or anomaly that causes either suffering or an impaired ability to function in ordinary life"

Fiat is used to extend and promote wars, which tends to result in suffering. Thus, people who use fiat (behavioral pattern) cause suffering. Thus they are, ipso facto, mentally ill.

That causes suffering to themselves, not to others. Therefore, people using fiat does nothing to tell whether they are mentally ill.

War hurts everyone.

All of us. All capitalists are mad, it is the mostly obscured but ever-present violence that makes us this way. Here I will provide three choice quotes from one of my favorite intellectuals, Michel Foucault.

“The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.”

“...if you are not like everybody else, then you are abnormal, if you are abnormal , then you are sick. These three categories, not being like everybody else, not being normal and being sick are in fact very different but have been reduced to the same thing”

“The real political task in a society such as ours is to criticize the workings of institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent, to criticize and attack them in such a manner that the political violence that has always exercised itself obscurely through them will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them.”
