We are in a forum where we are suppose to support bitcoin. Everything we do to promote bitcoin but when a character like theymos indirectly publicly vouch for something else then it will create a mess for sure.
Satoshi created Bitcoin and this forum in order to change the world, not to create a "Cult of BTC". In fact, Satoshi recommended creating Namecoin, the first altcoin. (Though Namecoin ended up being one of the bolt-stuff-onto-cloned-Bitcoin systems that I've never really respected.) I'm not going to start jumping on every alt bandwagon and treating every cryptocurrency as just as good as any other, nor do I believe that grin is currently anywhere close to BTC in terms of overall utility. But grin has true merit, and if you're interested in Bitcoin for the same reasons that Satoshi created it (freedom, privacy, and interesting tech), then grin is worthy of acknowledgement.
I did not mean "Cult of BTC". Excuse me If I gave you the wrong impression.
The point for me was - you are a brand ambassador of bitcoin (I am not saying bitcoin depends on you or depends on the forum. The legacy of bitcoin is enough to move alone as long as normal people accept it). When you step into something in this forum the entire community here give attention. Instead of talking about grin or anything else can we not inspire bitcoin developers?
Let's say grin has the best technology in the world, does that mean we all forget about bitcoin and move to grin? Sorry theymos may be I am not making sense. Think about Apple and Microsoft. They both believe in their own products and do everything to make their one THE BEST.
Anyway, it's your forum, satoshi trusted you with this forum. So, you do what you think is the best for the forum. But I guess you need to hear the community. I don't think many people here supported this new addition (I could be wrong by the way).
