Hahahahaha no waaaaaay... well, it's certainly nice to see, but out of all the sponsers... Cash Coin??? Never heard of it, but I shall hold back judgement haha.
Yeah the supporting your team mentality is definitely huge in crypto, although imo it's not really healthy for the community long term. Too many people blindly HODL a coin out of faith when they should really try to look at everything objectively and weigh up the pros/cons etc.
You're so right! I think the major problem is how foreign this all is to what people have grown up with. I really see education as a major gap in what's needed for healthy growth of the space.
For someone just getting into it, there is SO MUCH to take in, and so much noise. If you don't even have a handle on the basics and the history, it's overwhelming to even try to form your own opinions.
For me, after a few weeks of constant reading and youtube videos I realized I needed more, and decided to participate in a 3 day "BitCamp". I wrote a piece on it if you're curious.
