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.
