HN crowd has a lot of crypto deniers. The funny thing is that HN leaders like literally PG, Googl Bosses, Zuck and Marc Andreasen are very bullish on it. So it doesn't take much to realize who is right
- KozmoNau7 6y agoLike the rest of SV, they are blinded by hubris and their own blindness to the downsides of tech. Crypto currency is a disaster.
- biolurker1 6y agoYou mean you know better than everyone that has been extremely Successful right? OK :)
- KozmoNau7 6y agoSurvivorship bias is a real thing, and very relevant when discussing tech magnates.
- biolurker1 6y agoIf you want to make this argument it should also hold for everyone. Einstein was lucky, Newton didn't get killed by accident etc. But if you are in denial you can make a lot of arguments.
- cryptica 6y agoI got into crypto because of all the problems which technology companies and governments created which made it impossible for me to succeed in the mainstream tech industry. Crypto industry is no walk in the park, but I can speak from experience and say that success there is definitely possible. I would think that people like Mark Andreessen and Mark Zuckerberg have a pretty good view of what's wrong with the current mainstream tech industry given that they have been directly benefiting from its flaws. Even if they had come into their situations by accident, by now they would have figured out what's going on and that would make them bullish on crypto. I don't think these people have much ego when it comes to business; my experience is that they will switch sides at the flick of a switch and follow the money as soon as it's profitable.
