I would agree with you, the cryptocurrency ecosystem is full of nonsense and staying away is what is probably best for most people.
Don't say "disinformation on both sides though", the heavy handed censoring of /r/bitcoin (and other forums) was open and intentional.
Anyone can go there and ask reasonable questions about why bitcoin has the transaction throughput of a 56k modem when the fee of a single transaction can pay for a hard drive that stores the entire chain. You will either get some reply that makes zero technical sense or you will get your comment deleted, shadow banned or banned. Sharp high quality people who wanted to make bitcoin better were in charge at first and it became a complete cesspool while being taken over slowly with a lot of lying in between.
- micropresident 6y agor/btc is "uncensored" only insomuch as there are armies of trolls/sockpuppets lurking there manipulating votes and posting tons of noise. It's easy to "not censor" when you run around with a loudspeaker making sure content you don't want seen never makes it past new. There is also tons of false information posted there and upvoted; either through ignorance or mal-intent. Either way, it's disinformation. An "unmoderated" forum is always controlled by the people with the most free time to post nonsense.
