V. THREATS TO VALIDITY
In this study, we concentrate on one major platform where developers discuss crypto topics. This may not be sufficient as there are many other platforms, such as crypto Stack Exchange, which can provide more data to analyze. We measured topic difficulty and popularity based on metrics used in the previous study. Nevertheless, these observations may not be sufficient to determine what type of crypto questions are more challenging than others. Users may not always feel responsible for selecting a reasonable answer as an acceptable answer. Therefore, not having an accepted answer does not necessarily determine if the question is challenging for others.
