I hear what you are saying....
...however
If I want to mention ETH here I will, if I want to mention a broader crypto topic I will... as you mentioned, this board DOES indeed devolve into a massive selection of topics, and whilst you think that "throttling "shitcoin" talk" is this boards main strength... I in turn think it is the anti censorship aspect of the thread.
Everyone has access to the "ignore" function, it is super easy to use.
Personally I am not married to any of these damn craptocurrencies, but I find it , hilarious tbh that some people are so strongly allergic to "shitcoins" that , you make a post , say about a guy who ended up in prison after they travelled to NK, and "helped NK evade sanctions" and somehow, because he has been involved with Ethereum, that suddenly , one feels the need to spazz out and start hyperventilating and barking about "shitcoins/shitcoiner" .... I mean it is hardly like the topic I posted was about shitcoins, and it was hardly a shill for Ethereum.
Btw, Ethereum defo very much exists, and, regardless of ones maximalism within their own portfolio, which is entirely their choice... but braying at the moon "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" is , kinda inane and does not in reality, match reality in any way shape or form.
Also, is it worth making the point that many of these craptocurrencies are chalk and cheese, they are not even attempting to be the same thing, not even close.
Also, there are shitcoins, no doubt, total pieces of shyte, but, then there are other blockchain projects that are kinda cool, and making headways in their own right, and plenty of "midcaps" again some , maybe even MOST, are crap but some are not.
I do not make the argument that this thread should become a altcoin discussion thread , far from it, ... but come on guys, it isn't ever going to, and making a loose reference to a craptocurrency other than Bitcoin, is hardly a reason to break out into hives and start barking shitcoin and labelling people who happen to mention one a "shitcoiner tourist" and the like...
My biggest bug about it, in honesty, is it very much reminds me of the "never coiner" dynamic... its very similar in terms of closemindedness. Its the same sort of rhetoric coming from a bitcoin maximalist as ones from a never coiner, literally the same mechanism at play.
For what it is worth.... I know very very very few "shitcoiners" that are not in fact "Bitcoiners" 1st, and "shitcoiners" 2nd.
Annnnnnnnnnnnyways..... said my piece now, and imma not ram it down peoples throats, I am pretty sure that we can all get along, and I for one am now over the convo, I have nothing to add on the topic and so I won't
Bitcoin is obviously king, obvs.
