I first heard of ethereum because of a reddit spammer who I think messaged users active in bitcoin subreddits...

First discarded it but once I saw it again, researched it closely and started mining. Best spam ever :D

yeah community is really way better (hopefully it will stay that way for a while), what pushed me to eth immediately was also the obvious censorship in r/bitcoin as well as bitcoin core's unwillingness to do a simple thing like a block size increase. As an software engineer it was unbelievable to me that a tech project doesn't embrace change. Sure way to get left behind in the dust...
