Bitcoin enthusiasm is inversely correlated with faith in the financial system that be. Hacker News is founded, and largely frequented, by (would be) entrepreneurs, whose model of success is linking up with big financial players who make up the current system. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair Kind of sad to see a crowd who supposedly values information technology and vision, as means to transform society (make the world a better place!) get so ideologically bent out of shape about a technical project - and one so undeniably incredible as bitcoin. I mean, if people find it dumb or useless, that's one thing, we hear that about projects all the time, but with bitcoin people here get downright nasty with the comments, take moral stands and so on.
