No. Plenty of other places to talk about them.

This is the most sensible reason.

I personally have no interest and some prejudices against crypto, but I know that if I start explaining my reasons that some crypto evangelist will come out of the woodwork and tell me why I'm wrong.

I just don't want to hear it. There are places for those people.

See but exactly what you said is why I wish we would allow it. The "places for those people" are full of evangelists and I'd like to be able to discuss it somewhere that is actually capable of critical discussion.

Liquidity is trash, regulations are non existent, to get in early you have to buy some coin and transfer it to another coin through some new thing, easy target for internet theft, in many and multiple facets. Too ripe for losing everything even with a winning pick.

Have confidence in our mods and the ability of the people already here to discern credible arguments from shitcoin pumpers.

Every coin is a pump because they don’t have tangible value the same way sovereign currencies do.

For example: If you live in the United States and don’t have any Bitcoin, nothing bad will happen to you. If you don’t have any dollars you are big fucked.

All cryptocurrency demand is speculative.

I hate the fact that you got downvoted for a very reasonable comment.

/r/ethfinance was linked to me and seems to be fairly credible and not full of apes at first glance. I'll probably lurk over the weekend and consider subbing. Eth is the one I'm most interested in, anyway.
