Is there any interest in a Cryptocurrency group on Tildes?

I know chat about cryptocurrency hasn't been extremely popular here in the past, but I am curious if there is enough interest now to make a group for it. I am looking for a place to discuss it from an enthusiast's perspective because Reddit is just getting a little too crazy for me.

    I'm pretty interested in and familiar with cryptocurrency, but I'm a little skeptical of the potential for a group for it here. Cryptocurrency forums tend to get flooded with people pushing fluff to support pump-and-dump schemes. You may have seen people be accused of being "shills" on regular forums, but that insult is usually an exaggeration. On cryptocurrency forums, there often really are people posting and pushing nonsense points specifically because of monetary incentives. It takes strong and informed moderation to keep that at bay.

    Though maybe with the small userbase and the different way groups work here than subreddits (where they operate much less as destinations), maybe that problem world exist much less here. Having an occasional cryptocurrency post in its own group instead of ~tech might just have the benefit of letting uninterested people filter it out, without necessarily inviting the problems I'm thinking of.

    Probably not enough for a dedicated group, but I could see a ~tech.crypto working. You might suggest it in the ask thread.
