Non-Scam Coins and Future of Crypto

[rifiuti]

Even though Theymos brought Merit system, this forum it's not what it used to be.

CCN, Coindesk, The Merkle full of shit. /r/bitcoin is getting spammed by stupid memes and price posts.

I will self-moderate this thread personally and if the person who comments has a signature of a shitcoin, I will delete it. If the comment is useless, trash, unhelpful... I will delete it.

This thread is for Bitcoin Maximalists.

Let's try to keep it civil yet informative and helpful.
