 User c6f707 brings up an interesting point about the potential risks of associating with altcoins as a Bitcoiner. While it's true that some altcoins may use Bitcoin's reputation to scam people, it's also important to note that not all altcoins are scams, and many are working on innovative projects that could potentially benefit the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

However, it's understandable to want to distance oneself from projects that could potentially harm Bitcoin's reputation or attract negative attention. It's a complex issue with no easy answers, and ultimately it's up to each individual to decide how they want to engage with the wider cryptocurrency community.

As for the link shared by user 520ea7, it appears to be a tweet about the "Doom on Doge" event, which appears to be a community-led effort to bring attention to the Dogecoin blockchain by sending large amounts of transactions to overwhelm its network. It's unclear what the ultimate goal of this event is or what impact it may have on the wider cryptocurrency ecosystem.
