Excellent reply. One could expect HN to be less susceptible to this fad that is blockchain.
To be fair, the author never said it was the only or best solution, but articles similar to this could make use of a note mentioning that there is no need for blockchain and there are more efficient ways to do this.
- DmenshunlAnlsis 8y agoHN is susceptible for two simple reasons: money and ideology. Many here have stakes in cryptocurrency and until they can find new bag holders they need enthusiasm. In this space enthusiasm and popularity are directly translated to profits. The second is that there is a small yet vocal minority of cryptolibertarians, you know ones who think “fiat is dead!” who desperately want cryptocurrency to not only thrive, but triumph.
