Ahh, that feels good.
I'm a moderator on a Facebook crypto page and I needed to dump that emotional baggage somewhere:D
I been hearing about this Bitcointalk for awhile, if I don't get banned for the above statements I'll be interested in talking shop, I'm learning to code and I need all the resources I can get my hands on, my only concern is everyone is obnoxiously tribal to BTC and wont work with DeFi on Ethereum.
Indeed, there are a lot of people obsessed with Bitcoin. However, in bitcointalk you are going to see a huge portion of people that is not interested only in Bitcoin but in a whole decentralized ecosystem as well.
In my opinion, Ethereum is not the right place to build a DeFi app. You should better look into other chains such as Maker.
