That seems inflammatory (covetousness?).
My take is HN commenters try to typically reason through articles with thought and an open mind. I would wager there are so many bitcoin bros who hype ad nausea that beckons the skepticism you see here.
- cloakandswagger 6y ago"Bitcoin bros" is inflammatory and slanderous. Please edit your comment.
- pyrale 6y agoOn the other hand, > the environmental concern is just a cover for covetousness. ...is an insulting way to dismiss a concern without adressing it.
- saalweachter 6y agoI believe the distinction is that if you or I are accused of sour-graping Bitcoin, we cry crocodile tears on the internet, but if Bitcoin bros aren't taken as serious thought leaders of the future world economy, they stand to lose a lot of money, potentially leveraged.
- cyphertruck 6y ago“Bitcoin bros” is a pejorative.

- cloakandswagger 6y agoIt's a sexist term that degrades the countless amounts of female Bitcoin investors as well as those who identify as trans or POC. I'm surprised it's allowed on HN.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoYou have called lock downs "arrogant and threatening authoritarian movements" and told someone that saying racist hate groups lead to violence is "hyperbole that isn't going to work for you much longer". You also said that "hn is filled with indignant nocoiners". I think acting offended by 'bitcoin bros' is hypocritical.
- cloakandswagger 6y agoMy own comments (many of which I don't remember making, it's possible my account was temporarily compromised) shouldn't have any bearing on the offensive remarks made by others.
