Yes, but the writing there will forever have the shitcoin taint. It's remarkable how that platform is (like) fiat. Completely ripping off the writers.

I don't think ETH is a sh coin... However, they have changed paying coins few times and some of them were really not useful, obvious sh coins!

I would define ETH as a shitcoin for the following reasons:
  1. Premine-Vitalik and his buddies cashed out.
  2. A single company runs and controls it. Look what happened here: https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/05/09/coindesk-turns-10-how-the-dao-hack-changed-ethereum-and-crypto/
  3. Proof of stake. I'm sure others can add to the list. This is off the top of my head.

How smart is that? It means that Bitcoin is also a sh coin... according to your assertion, as it has BRC-20 now! Also, staker (from Staker.News...) means one who participates in proof of stake! Sorry, but your confusion is total, man... But I agree, you are not part of the creators of Staker.news! Happy staking!

Yes, Publish0x also changed their "crypto" from one thing to another. I played with it in 2020 and grew to hate it.

This is true, but still there is a crypto community there. I wonder if is it bigger or lower community than Staker.news...?!

I wouldn't care. Crypto is scammy nonsense. It's basically ignoring Bitcoin and lots of egos.
