You have written in our German loacal board as well and despite that you are not from Germany, your posting quality from a spelling perspective is often better than the average (old member) low-effort poster in our local section.

Thank you, writing in your German Local is even more important to me in terms of the language, than crypto discussions, to be honest. Right now I don't have another opportunity to practice my German, and it was such a relief and pleasure, than the German community accepted me, even though I am not a native speaker.

Speaking about Denglisch, I was eager to ask for some time now, why do you consider it such a bad thing? I mean, in a modern world, we cannot escape the spread of English-speaking culture, and of course, each language will borrow words to one degree or another, especially if their meanings and subject components were originally invented in the English language field.

For example, I don't really know how to say Halving or Mining or Staking the way it would be correct in German. Moreover, I don't know which article I should use with this words, and this is not the kind of information you easily get from student`s language book. That is why I believe, than sometimes the usage of borrowed words are justified, especially when you don`t have an alternative and analogue in your mother tongue.
