Tribalism in Crypto is Shortsightedhttps://medium.com/@Murkymerkleroot/tribalism-in-crypto-is-shortsighted-b12d7acc70bdWe all know how lucky we have been in terms of new community members and their willingness to write quality articles about this crucial, decentralized ecosystem. From the concise, educational, and highly technical writing of jstarhead, to the more analytical format of gogo’s offerings, there is no shortage of quality Stakenet content. While having lots of people writing about Stakenet is wonderful, I do think that the Stakenet community — not to mention crypto enthusiasts more generally — deserve to be kept in the loop about other cryptocurrency projects.
One of the great quirks of the cryptocurrency space is that the coins that produce the most outlandish whitepaper claims command most of the attention. Here at the XSNArmyBlog, we want readers to break out of their respective echo chambers and at least begin to consider some of the other, equally fascinating projects. In addition to helping XSNArmyBlog readers gain a better sense of the market, this fresh approach will help the crypto world as a whole. Moving forward, be on the lookout for XSNArmyBlog content that reflects this healthier, wide lense approach.
As I write this editorial, there are a number of cryptocurrency developers that are quietly innovating but recieving very little recognition. Moreover, if the project doesn’t deal with outright commercialization or is more humanitarian minded, the silence is all the more deafening. Not withstanding the short term, market obsessed FUD, the crytpocurrency ecosystem is as as bright as ever, and there is no reason why notable projects and causes should go unmentioned.
The inspiration behind this nuanced approach stemmed from discussions with Stakenet’s head of social media, Rebecca , and our fearless leader, Wolf. While talking with them about the various ways in which a decentralized community might broaden its appeal, it occurred to me that despite its decentralized, community driven roots, crypto can be far too insular. Projects only seem to want to talk about themselves. Frankly, this is a short sighted approach; one chain will not rule them all and the broader decentralized movement is rife with opportunities for collaboration. Despite what the cynics might say, a lot of us are here for the technology.
