Why not change this territory name to cryptography?

131 sats \ 11 comments \ @DesertDave 22 Sep crypto

There is a pinned post about in here, something about making crypto about cryptography again. Is that is what this territory is about. And shitcoiners are going to get slammed here no matter what. Is it a place to shit on each other. I don't care either way, but what is the intent of this territory? Why not just change the name and cut some of that conflict out? Just a thought.

There was a lot of discussion about this in the pinned post (and in the linked post), here's one example thread where I explained my decision: #364665

Also, if I don't use crypto as a territory here for cryptography, I don't want to see someone else claim that name for shitcoins exclusively. Shitcoins will die, but crypto will prevail.

I don't care either way, but what is the intent of this territory?

Doesn't the title of the pinned post make that clear?

Thanks. I didn't look very closely before posting this. Is it working? Apparently, I believe in the idea. #507208 hahaha

It makes sense to me now. I didn't really think it through before posting the question. I reacted based on the tension I experienced in this post. #696538

That makes a lot a sense. It's taking the word back. I get it.

I've almost considered creating a shitcoin territory, only to post hilariously dumb crypto things in a mocking way for entertainment purposes. Like a guy on reddit trading a full BTC for Cronos, the shitty Crypto.com token and claiming it was a good trade despite him down probably $15k in USD terms. Probably worth the cautionary tales haha.

That's an interesting idea. I am sure it is sometimes helpful for people to hear the cautionary tales.

It's good. It's a trap for shitcoiners.

I blame the UI for not showing me the pinned rules and intent before I posted, but that would be a bad word against the creators of this site.

Again, I’m just begging to get shot in the wild Wild West, just trying to help though. Feelings aside, what is logical and optimal for all?

Who knows? I don't know. I do like it wild... I like to ask questions and understand other perspectives.

I suppose it's a great place for @DarthCoin to watch over and eliminate threats as needed. A trap for all those who don't read the fine print.
