MODERATOR NOTE: READ BEFORE POSTING:
This is the thread to discuss cryptocurrency, stablecoins, central bank digital currency, NFTs, other digital assets and associated blockchain technology. This is the only thread where those topics may be discussed. While the Community Rules apply to all threads, there are additional rules for this specific thread that result from prior problems:
1. The purpose of this thread is not to allow you to evangelize or proselytize about Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. We would not allow that for any other investment, and we're not allowing it here.
2. Thus, any post to the effect of "Crypto is great and we're all going to get rich and you old guys who just don't understand are all missing the boat" will be deleted by the moderators.
3. Similarly, there is no point in a post that says only "Bitcoin is stupid and you're all going to lose your shirts." Those will also be deleted.
4. In short, if you want to participate in crypto, do it. If you don't, then don't. You will not convince each other of the righteousness of your respective positions, so stop trying. It just annoys people.
5. If you are interested in crypto, you may post specific questions and give specific answers about crypto topics here, such as how to buy and sell, how best to hold, potential ETFs and such.
6. Do not post mind numbingly long videos or podcasts by unknown people extolling the virtues of crypto. If you post a video, identify who is on it and why they are qualified to speak about the topic. Identify specifically what point you wish to make by posting it. And, identify by time where in the video that specific point is made.
7. A similar rule exists for articles - identify and qualify your sources and explain specifically which point you hope to make by posting the link. If it is a long article, cite the specific page.
8. The normal rules of courteous behavior apply. You know what they are, so don't even come close to the line.
