I never said you should buy anything. And certainly never in my life have I tried to sell a crypto. Why would I? I enjoy discussing how crypto is going to change the world because I genuinely believe it will. A move away from everything being centralized is a good thing in my opinion.

edit: just to add on - would you call somebody who was excited about the Internet in 1995 a salesman? Just because I have an easy time seeing where crypto is heading and am excited about it should not be considered "salesman" behavior.

Weren't you just trying to charge people to discuss with them how cryptocurrencies will change the world?

That sounds much less like an ethusiast and much more like a salesman.

It was a sarcastic reply to the request the poster made of me but I guess that humor was lost on you. Why on earth would I spend the time and effort to write up a well sourced research paper to satisfy some random request on hacker news?

According to your own words: Because you are trying to explain your position and enjoy talking about it.
