You seem to think that talking about bitcoin makes you a part of it. I think that I'm a part of bitcoin because I'm in the WoT.
This only works if the WoT is considered part of bitcoin.
If not (as the comments in the thread seem to suggest) then you are just part of the WoT and it ends there.
To answer his assumption, no I do not consider myself part of Bitcoin, at all. That's just a weak attempt to insidiously attack my persona.
While WoT indeed has so much value, some people don't have time to be a part of those things. So these people aren't part of Bitcoin in any way, okay.
Gavin and most of the people who brought resources (financial, technical, etc) to the table are trained in the same way and cut from the same cloth. Their reasons for getting involved in the first place vary, but they can be relied upon to follow certain fairly well directed paths as they navigate through the wilderness.
