Ah the classic coiner refrain. Thanks bud. We do. We really, really do.
We've spent many years learning exactly what those things are thanks to all this insufferable nonsense. I know more about crypto than practically 90% of the crypto community. I know all the personalities, the history, the fraud, the crime, the grift. I've read countless whitepapers. I've learned about 'traditional' finance.
All because of the brigading army of the insufferable.
While I dislike the coiners' "oh, you just don't get it" as much as you, I think a more charitable interpretation of GP is possible that rests on the fact that there are two interpretations of the word "commodity":
1. something (usually raw material or primary good) that can be bought and sold - Bitcoin sort of fits that definition.
2. something (usually raw material or primary good) that can be processed to produce something useful. Bitcoin is not a commodity in that sense, which might be what GP was trying to highlight.

I’ve been online since the 80s for the weird. Now it’s full of insufferable normies.
Maybe it’s outlived it’s usefulness as a social engagement tool.

Not at all, I'm sick and tired of being told to "do my own research" in response to thoughtful and measured criticism by people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
