> I will summarily close issues related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in any way.

Why would any issue be "about" crypto? Or traditional finance. Or social media. Or recipe websites. Or gardening

I'm not understanding why the content of the website / application would be an important detail of a github issue at all.

And yet there were issues opened which specifically reference cryptocurrencies, such as: https://github.com/aaugustin/websockets/issues/1144
There's several more, which is certainly much more than the author wants.

Most of them seem to be trivial coding mistakes unrelated to the library, and contributors even helped on some before closing due to the rule. The users should probably have asked on StackOverflow or something like that.

This whole ordeal actually seems much more practical than political.

If anyone wants to use this library for bitcoin, just make proper github issues.

No, I think it’s more like “I’m trying to connect to this Bitcoin tracker with your library and it doesn’t work, help pls”
