Monthly Skeptics Discussion - December 2021

Welcome to the Monthly Skeptics Discussion thread. The goal of this thread is to promote critical discussion by challenging popular or conventional beliefs. Please read the rules and guidelines before participating.

Rules:

1. All sub rules apply here.

2. Discussion topics must be on topic, i.e. only related to skeptical or critical discussion about cryptocurrency. Markets or financial advice discussion, will most likely be removed and is better suited for the daily thread.

3. Low-effort comments promoting coins or tokens will be removed. For example, comments saying "Buy coin X!" or "Coin X is going to the moon!????", showcasing the current composition of your portfolio, or stating you sold coin X for coin Y, will promptly be removed. In other words, no shilling. If you are spotted violating the third rule, you will most likely be temporarily banned for 1-7 days or even more, depending on the severity.

Guidelines:

• Share any uncertainties, shortcomings, concerns, etc you have about crypto related projects.

• Refer topics such as price, gossip, events, etc to the Daily Discussion.

• Please report top-level promotional comments and/or shilling.

Resources and Tools:

• Read through the Cointest Archive for material to discuss and consider participating in the contest if you're interested. You can also try reading through the Critical Discussion search listing.

• Consider changing your comment sorting to controversial so you can find more critical discussion.
