Essentially because every HN post concerning cryptocurrencies has become a joke, and long threads of cryptofanatics and cryptosceptics throwing shit at each other. No one is willing to just have rational conversation on the points they agree/disagree with, but instead write attacks like: "Hahahahaha this is hilarious, where are all the bitcoin {fanatics,sceptics} now" that don't contribute to the discussion at all. You will always get downvoted by one of the sides. Personally, I would downvote you if I could for adding yet another stick to the bonfire. To be honest, this looks like a quarrel between baboons that have invested too much, and baboons that have shorted too much. I've never ever seen HN in such a state and hope to not see it.
