[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Cryptocurrencies with payment tag

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

I am not in favour of supporting any cryptocurrency payment information 
in OSM.

More than once in the past, OSM has been abused as a marketing tool by 
people whose only "mission" it was to push awareness of some random 
cryptocurrency. These are not people who want to improve OSM; these are 
fans of one cryptocurrency or another in the best of cases, and more 
often than not people who have invested in these currencies and are 
hoping to get a good return on their investment.

Essentially, most of the cryptocurrency information in OSM serves the 
purpose of advertising and not the purpose of improving OSM.

(I already find detailed recordings of what credit cards are accepted 
unnecessary and too volatile, but crypto coin acceptance is even more that.)

So, if anything, let's scale back cryptocurrency payment mapping in OSM, 
and not increase it.

Bye
Frederik
