[Loughla]

The mainstream is confused by the sheer number of coins available. For example, I have never heard of zcash or aztek. I have no idea what they're about or how long they've existed, or whether or not they're a scam.

I understand there are different uses for all of these coins, vaguely. But I also have no idea which are scams, which are not, and which are good for what I need. Further, I have zero idea where to even start to evaluate those three points, let alone the trading process.

And a lot of that issue is because crypto zealots are sort of awful to deal with, because many times they are needlessly condescending. Ask for help in crypto forums, and you get responses such as, "don't be clueless" or "use [insert weirdly named coin here], obviously [zero references to follow this statement]."

Also, the number of people shilling various coins is genuinely startling. Too many people have too much invested in too many coins for me to be comfortable that I'm not being scammed.
