Just found this cool study from Northwestern University, funded by the National Science Foundation, on a study on /r/Buttcoin, a subreddit I created back in 2011.
They were doing a study on online communities and "antagonistic mutualism". They looked at the relationship between /r/Buttcoin and /r/Bitcoin
What they found is that while one would assume both subreddits to be in opposition of one another, both could not stop talking about the other and there was a lot of crossover between the two communities.
Members in /r/Bitcoin talked about /r/Buttcoin about as much as other community did.
They showed an almost antagonistic but symbiotic relationship between the crypto boosters and crypto jokers.
Like one could not live without the other.
$Buttcoin has always been a cosntant part of crypto history.
A nationally funded university study proves it.
