Hi everyone! Hopefully you are all doing great.Today I got a 7 day ban from the r/Bitcoin community. And honestly, I am baffled. Here is a small summary of the events on why I got banned - and why I think that subreddit and the moderators are the most toxic in the crypto community.It all started with the following question I saw on my timeline. For those who don't want to click the link, the question states: "What do you guys think of Ethereum? Is it a good coin compared to Bitcoin?" OP then specified he asked this on r/ethereum but wanted to see both sides of the story.I answered with the following answer. Again for all of you who don't want to click links, it states from my side:"Different coin all along.Bitcoin = store of value (like gold, but with a known supply).Ethereum = platform to facilitate contracts & finance.They are both good. I own both!"A few minutes after, I get the following DM on my Reddit account stating I was now banned from the community for 7 days due to "shitcoin shilling" LMFAO.Firstly, I did not shill I believe. Secondly, as if now Ethereum is a shitcoin!?Anyways, rant over. For all you newbies out there, be careful with coin-focused subreddits... as you can see they tend to be very one-sided.
