> I sincerely hope this post has been written ironically. I'm sorry if it came as hurtful or mean. This was not the goal. I just wanted to share how it works, and why it's done, in the hope it could help others. > It may make sense but I really don't want to live in this world. Neither do I - which is why I'm mostly retired, an anomaly at my age, made possible thanks to crypto. In the early 2010s I was reading a lot of things on HN that I felt were very wrong: mostly people describing the world as they wish was, but not as it really is. I found out the truth by myself. In the process, I lost a few years not entering the crypto market early enough (my fault for trusting the HN zeitgeist) and I lost a bit of my soul (mostly my trust in people). Please do not make the same mistakes I did. Don't buy the lies, instead look at the world honestly and without sorrow, so you can change it for the better.
