"bitcoin" is at 1.7m users 🎉🥳 I remember not to long ago we reached the big 1 million. If you look at the other biggest financial subreddits, we have "investing" at 1.2m, and "wallstreetbets" (wsb) at 1.6m and other smaller communities.
For some reason, if you post or comment anything Bitcoin related, even if relevant to the questions like discussions about monetary policy, digital dollars, gold standard etc. You mention Bitcoin, and you instantly get downvoted as if it taboo to them and an outright scam.
Then you have WSB who are autistically betting high leverage and making massive gains and massive losses on options/puts bets and get praised for it. (We're way more disciplined then that).
Question is, when will Bitcoin ever become relevant to other investment and stock subreddits? How much more popular does Bitcoin have to be until it's universally accepted (or at least tolerated) in those subreddits? Maybe when r/bitcoin reaches 5m? 10m? users.
Maybe for those of us who are in these other financial subreddits, we should upvote our fell comrades whenever we see them (relevantly) make good comments about Bitcoin, so they don't just disappear at the bottom somewhere, but then they can start to think about it, and maybe see this community is actually bigger then them and might actually be something..
What do you guys think about all this?
