Now that XLM is rising in price, a lot of the greedy idiotic asshole speculators that swarm to crypto will be coming in. Watch for it. We early adopters believed in the tech, and the sub revolved around the tech. We didn't care about profit, but about fundamentally helping the world. In the choice between 200% profit or ensuring Stellar becomes adopted and changes the world, we would choose the latter.

But as Stellar rises, speculators come in. Look at /r/bitcoin, /r/btc, /r/litecoinmarket, and other similar subs to tell you what to expect. This sub will be swamped with memes, hundreds of posts on small price fluctuations, downvote brigading of ANY discussion of the tech because any tech discussion necessarily requires self-criticism of the product.

This is inevitable. Perhaps we can't avoid the incoming scourge, but we can mitigate it. As early adopters, don't just upvote nice posts. Actively DOWNVOTE posts that treat Stellar as a get-rich-quick-scheme. Downvote stupid memes and stupid price posts.

Edit: My prescription for any mods listening is that we ban all posts related to price or memes. Already the top three posts are about prices. Perhaps make an /r/stellarmarkets, but heavily moderate /r/stellar to be about development.

Edit 2: Now that this post has picked up some steam, I should probably apologize for my aggressive tone. 7 years of active Redditing makes you jaded and prone to pre-emptive aggression lest people start insulting you first. This is an explanation, not an excuse. But it would be nice if you asked me for clarification instead of just assuming what I meant. For instance, a lot of people claimed I said profit and principle are mutually exclusive. I literally never said that.

I love what Stellar and jed and whoever contributed the majority of their git commits are doing, but let's not be faggots here and pretend we don't also care about profiting off it at the same time. I can do both.
