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
