The reason why the Bitcoin subreddit is toxic.

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.

EDIT: Upon popular request, I will next week post in their subreddit a shilling on doge and an explanation on why a flippening will happen in 2027. I’m setting it on fire now
