There has to be a counterbalance to all the cultish posts of the always-bullish people who think that prices are always going straight to the moon tomorrow regardless of any and all TA and that every unfavorable event is always made up.

It was us cultists who kept this project alive when it dropped from $32 to $3 and stayed there for a year. The fraction of investors like me who will willingly go down with the ship are the support base that gives BTC what some call "intrinsic" value. Without us, this really would be a Ponzi Scheme. Contributing to positive change in the world is just as important as ROI.

Really? It was people saying "to da moon" and "fud" that we're rescuing bitcoin? Or was it people who were spreading bitcoin adoption, developing services, adopting merchants, and writing code? Those are two separate things. One particular person might happen to play both roles, but they are still separate roles, and I'm only referring to one of those roles as a 'cultist'.

Unwarranted optimism is not typically cultish behavior. Many actual cultist think the world is going to end and that members of their cult will be illuminated enough to know how to survive certain death. Not the best choice of words, IMHO.

FTFY. Bitcoin cultists are cultists.
