How would you compare the overton window of the ethereum vs bitcoin communities? Both from a technical and cultural perspective.

never really met a bitcoin leftist, at best all the btc maxis are anarchist or libertarian, it seems an inherently more right-wing crowd my guess is that smartcontracts are more necessary to our narratives, while libertarian/anarchist narratives are more aligned with the store-of-value concerns

Iโd say bc of The DAO hack, ETH is culturally more political, a pluralist/centrist politics, and BTC is more ancap/libertarian contractual, code is law types. I see a future where ETH partners with the EU or BRICS and changes their tokenomics to be more MMT. Whereas thereโs no way in hell that the BTChes would go for thatโฆ

id never thought of the DAO reversal as a pluralist political move, that's a good point, though i doubt most people here have really been around that long*, its ancient lore at this point and i think it was an unpopular enough move that we wouldn't see it repeated now (*i had eth in the DAO! thanks vitalik!)

Nooo Iโm not saying it impacts ppl now, but it set the precedent that I think is the reason we have 2 really distinct ecosystems culturally. Although technically, some BTChes are definitely trying to make smart contracts a thing over there. Only thing Iโve kept up with about BTC in a long time was ChainLeftโs Pepermanent and thatโs about it๐
