I’m not sure what point you mean to make about Christianity. Judaism is also monotheistic, and predates both Christianity and the Romans. The Romans did not think Jews were crazy. Rome didn’t try to suppress Christians because of their belief in one god. They tried to suppress Christians because of violence and not respecting the state religion.

depends on which sect of christians you are talking about. after nero burning christians as candles (googld roman candles), it caused an uproar, many converted to christianity out of spite to nero burning down rome

Top 5 coins is easy. You can look at market cap or my list here. bitcoin ethereum monero .........
Look into ENS, IPFS, 'layer 2' chains, bip32, etc.
The core thing to keep in mind when thinking about cryptocurrency is that it is software. 2010 bitcoin is very different from 2021 bitcoin. There is a shitload of funding in the space and a lot of progress is being made. Just because 'bitcoin is slow' or 'bitcoin uses all the energy' today does not mean it will in 5 years.
