Drama

I’ve been gone from r/cryptocurrency for awhile, checking it on and off here and there. I was in a chat group where, thankfully, someone updated me on Reddit’s new policy changes regarding “community points”.

Now, I know a few other rooms really did have “points” which I suppose was a fun way to show status.

However.

R/cryptocurrency “community points” was a little more than that, wasn’t it?

I mean, it’s on a real blockchain (Arbitrum) and can be bought and sold for actual currency.

In addition, I’m reading several commenters here in various posts suggesting that certain users in positions of “power” very recently sold large amounts of “community points” before the community points news was dropped on us.

Like I said, it’s been gone awhile, so I don’t know. But I felt this post would be a good place to see if anyone had any insights into this.

It would be ironic for Reddit to drop community points due to “regulation concerns” to cause the very thing they were concerned about, like insider trading. Ive been gone awhile, so I don’t know. But I felt this post would be a good place to see if anyone had any insights into this.
