Crypto Bitcoin Maximalism - The Tradeoff Between Rationalism and Nationalism

Nationalism is thump chest, we're the best, our country's the best. You know, and you kind of actually need that. I always underestimated nationalism until I got into crypto where I saw that the effect of crypto tribalism had monetary consequences. There's something to mindless chest thumping. It actually keeps people together. This is a very useful thing. Whenever you see people get really mad when other people criticize, let's say, San Francisco or, you know, like New York, often it's because their principal point,. they identify themselves as a San Francisco or New Yorker.
