Do you also experience having a preference on buying one token to another because of your principles or ideology?
I don't buy tokens, maybe that's  my ideology
One example of mine is related to buying Monero.  We all know that the value of Monero skyrocketed last year and during that time I was still hesitant if I will buy Monero because we all know that the token is all about privacy and it is mostly used in darkweb.  Darkweb involved all of crime-related transactions and I feel that buying Monero makes you an accomplice of their illegal trades/deals.
Even though Monero can be used on the Darkweb, the use of the coin doesn't define how the coin is itself. Besides, Monero is also used in the "bright" one. If we take the principle of illegal transactions as a measure for not trusting a coin, then we probably will never use any asset of value, for everything can be used either for doing good or bad things.

I also find myself buying tokens and supporting campaigns related to preserving the environment.  Maybe because I really love nature and believe in the effect of global warming.

That's your own opinion and that's ok, but, I insist, everything can be used either for good or bad. Money is money, technology is technology, what differs is just what person is using it and to what end, that's all. So, nop, I have no ideology when buying, maybe I focus on the technology and the biggest coins.  Wink
