> Could we agree that everyone who writes anything about crypto puts at the end of his/her post a disclaimer telling us if he/she is invested in tokens discussed in that post and if yes what is the share in their portfolio.
No? That seems like a silly question. If I'm the kind of person to hype something so that I benefit at your expense, then I'm unlikely to be the kind of person to tell you about the trap I set.
> Or to be clear, any discussion about crypto might be motivated by financial incentives which makes a meaningful technical discussion quite hard.
In general, anything dealing with other humans introduces ambiguity of motive. A good technical argument should deal with concrete facts, which can be verified and evaluated on their own terms, independent of the motive of the person that provided them. Take it as a given that you can't completely trust anyone else's motives.
