The only "shilling" I do is point out what coins are scams and which ones aren't. The ones issued by a central authority via IPO are obviously for-profit scams. The fact that the same coins doing such activities also completely fail on a technical level and are worse than regular old Bitcoin while using used car salesmen marketing terms like "blockchain 2.0", makes it all the more hilarious.
There is my stance on that issue below, but the Lightning Network might implement some type of confidential transactions and make them pointless:
Nobody in altcoins has improved on Bitcoin in any way except maybe anonymity purposes such as ring signatures and zk-snarks (monero and zcash). I once thought some proof of stake systems like DPoS might have promise, but once you figure out the complete picture in how these systems works, you can walk away with no other conclusion than them being a step BACKWARDS compared to plain Bitcoin.
Although I would not recommend buying any altcoin such as Monero or Zcash until a few months after BTC halving or you will likely get financially raped. The drawbacks of Zcash also kinda outweigh the pros of increased anonymity set over Monero to me.
When bitcoins that you hold get more valuable, then there's no profit for you?
When others express their opinion, then they're shilling.. when you do it, then it's sincere concern.
.. is it all like this because you're special?
