I disagree on the be rah rah with your cryptocurrency. Being emotionally involved in your investments to me is a recipe for bad investing.
Don't get me wrong I get what your saying, I can understand why someone supports a privacy coin if they value privacy and freedom, crypto is an exciting thing so to an extent I understand getting a bit more involved than with stocks. Heck even with stock some people get very rah rah Apple and a handful of other companies.
That said, again, I think its a recipe to poor decision making and I think its partly why people outside of crypto don't take us seriously.
