This was an interesting read for me, because while I had been vaguely aware of the idea of cryptocurrencies before, this is the first time I've ever really set foot in their domain. Truth be told, I ended up coming here more because of the content creator aspect of it than the cryptocurrency aspect of it.

This article was eye opening in a way not just in talking about how shilling is done or why people might call you a shill, but the alternate reasons someone might even bother talking about a cryptocurrency. Considering the term 'currency', it's easy to jump to the idea that the only interest anyone could have in such a prospect is a monetary one. You, however, seem more drawn to the technological and cultural aspect of it and motivated by a curiosity on that than anything. That's very interesting to see. A part of that is due to the fact that most currencies alone are, as far as I can tell, rather arbitrary themselves and a social construction, as is the idea of 'worth' on a grander scale. It honestly simply makes sense that as technology has gone on, a sense of currency should emerge from that as a weird match for the development of the culture that has grown due to technology.
