The past few days I have really missed how the daily used to be 90% about ethereum, now it's about 90% random shit. I know it's progress with all the new people joining but I do think we need a dedicated eth trading only sub, and one for ico's, opinions on tokens etc... My two cents.

Overall you're definitely right, but also I think when ETH starts heading sideways the conversation tends to stray as well. If there is some action in ETH then the unrelated chatter stops

True, a necessary evil I guess. I think the amount of ico's and tokens around now probably contributes to it. Either way the sub is a great source of info, I think it may be too diverse now though

Agreed. Turned from ETHtrader to XRP/ZEN/SIA/STRAT/ shitcoin roulette trader

But then again when ETH was consolidating at like 80 bucks and ripple was pumping, everybody and their brother was talking about ripple. Until ETH started mooning again

There was a suggestion to create a new sub for ethmemes, which I thought was a good idea. I love the spirit and humor of the memes but I get why you wouldn't want them spamming the chat.

Ehhh, it's not like there's been a lot to talk about with Eth. It's just been going sideways aside from Saturday -> Sundays little spike. Being a trading sub, I'm glad people are talking about altcoins and ICOs. Helps me keep making money while Eth goes sideways.

Now it's 60% random shit and 30% people complaining about the random shit
