Motherboard/Vice strikes again: Portraying Bitcoin/cryptocurriencie users as the next closest thing to Neanderthals. (Well, okay - to be fair, only SOME of us!)

The article, "Inside the World of the 'Bitcoin Carnivores'" by Jordan Pearson, attempts to explain why a small group of Bitcoin users eat only meat exclusively. Pearson writes:

"No trend epitomizes this better than "Bitcoin carnivory," a diet-slash-lifestyle being promoted by a small but prolific group  of cryptocurrency enthusiasts online. The idea is simple: Use only  Bitcoin, eat only meat. The espoused benefits are as much spiritual as  they are financial and physical, and its advocates are self-serious. For  the Bitcoin carnivore, there is a kind of metaphysical parallel between  decentralized digital ledgers and an imagined idea of what our  ancestors ate, and by extension, how they lived. Politics, food, and  money—it's all connected."

Talk about stretching a point - but I leave it all to yourselves as I go back to finishing my steak!

I am such a beast, we go against the grain, not to be contrary, but because we are curious about performance over time and are not afraid to question assumptions. That is where gold has often been missed. I write about metabolic health and experiences

Love it. I eat meat and trade crypto. would love to read more good stuff on the the topic. I upvoted you.
