Open discussion about the scope of the cryptocurrency site.
Idea is to use labels in Stack Exchange to label specific cryptocurrency.

"Cryptocurrencies" vs "blockchain"
If we want a general place, "blockchain" is more general than "cryptocurrencies". However, most blockchains exist because they have some "main' cryptocurrency which supports the incentives to extend the chain.
Also, because of financial incentives, most communities are attached to a particular cryptocurrency and not to something abstract like blockchain technology.
Because of that I think "cryptocurrency" should attract more participation and increase chances of success for the site.
How narrow/wide should it be? My motivation to help this effort is to have a place for Bitcoin Cash, which is a blockchain of the UTXO family. I know nothing about EVM chains, it's such a different paradigm.
Could we make it a bit more narrow, focused on UTXO blockchains? There's a community around "UTXO alliance" which may be interested in participating in helping build out the site.
But then again, some cryptocurrencies are having both UTXO & EVM chains, and using bridge technology to connect them.
