This list is not to be taken too seriously. It's meant in good fun, and mocking people for their delusions is never the intention.
Sadly, I don't have sufficient fame to get these kinds of emails. I remember a professor in grad school who regularly got them. He was always very respectful, but firm in his one-time answer.

  • 20 points for suggesting a new layer 2.

The caveat would be different in this case.
it's not meant in good fun, and mocking shitcoiners for their delusions is always the intention.
