Points to discuss

• Could this cause problems where people with a narrow view on the crypospace will only favour IOTA in the discussion and bash down everything else?
• Are there people with enough factually accurate information regarding the discussed crypots to help answer the questions?
• What are the benefits of having something like this?
• Could discussions where IOTA is favored in the discussion as a better technology results our community being called out for comparing to other and wrongfully picture them "to make IOTA look better"..?
• How can we help people on reddit that have very little knowledge in the broader view on the technologies ask "stupid" questions?
• This should only be created after Chrysalis to not create more confusion?

Suggestions from my side:

• the discussion has to be factual, every comparison has to be with an existing blockchain and a technology implemented on the IOTA mainnet or at least in a beta/testing stage. To avoid are discussion with the theme "but IOTA will have/might be/is researching
• If not 100% about how something works in IOTA or other tech, avoid discussing assumptions. Reach out to the community of the tech that is being compared and get a factual answer from their side (challenging, but might also start a virtuous relationship with other communities)
• last but not least: avoid price comparison, completely nonsense for the scope of this kind of initiative (just making sure)
