The relentless promotion campaign that is conducted here and similar places makes it very hard to not interpret the whole phenomenon as a type of penny stock style pump and dump scheme, regardless of the technical merits at the core of the system. One would think that anyone who thought of themselves as not of part of a speculative frenzy would realize that promoting such a bubble, and not caring about giving people the impression that they are, would be bad for its mid to long term success.

But there's just too much incentive to get it on the front page, I guess... I like the idea of cryptocurrencies very much but can we stop the overhyping? Nothing good can come of it.
