 In this context, I feel there needs to be more clarity on obvious red flags or patent defects, otherwise everything just gets tarred with the same brush. e.g. I pay them no heed, but afaik meme coins can all be discounted? Similarly,  nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle disparaging other top 10 cryptos by comparison with #Bitcoin feels like strawmanning as, again afaik, most or all of those don't even purport to have a role in the financial freedom tech stack.

Finally, note that I am not in any way looking to "open the floodgates" and don't have a problem with large swathes of non-BTC crypto being legitimately categorised as shitcoins. Currently, my only goal is to ensure that #Nimiq payment coin gets a fair hearing with regard to its potential role in the financial freedom tech stack.
