hey everyone, my first post here

OP is clearly uninterested in discussions about altcoins, which is fine, just thought i’d present an alternative viewpoint

as someone who cares about bitcoin’s future a lot, i think conversations about what altcoins are doing differently are important in order to strengthen bitcoin.

and yes, there needs to be some discretion, since obviously much/most of what happens in altcoin-land is flat out scams, but that’s not everything. some experiments are honest and can inform future development in bitcoin and i think monero is a prime example of that

even if what monero teaches us is “we shouldn’t do what monero did”, that’s also useful

banning any discussion about anything altcoin-related will limit our ability to learn and have productive discussions about bitcoin
