I don’t think I’d characterise the discussions around the technology as hate. Maybe with the exception of the environmental cost of Proof of Work. Where most of the heat comes from, in my opinion, is the religion that’s grown around it. Fundamentally, it is just a technology; clever in parts, flawed in others. Some people have ascribed almost messianic qualities to it. And like many religions, the adherents often just ignore evidence that doesn’t align with their worldview. Personally, I find the religion bit irritating but I don’t hate it. I do find it frustrating because it taints the technology which, in my opinion, does have merit.
