HN is more about tech than what any given financial instrument is doing over some period of time. I think there is a wall of acceptance too tall for crypto to become accepted by "normal" people (aka non-technical and non-finance people). There are still people using checkbooks as their main source of paying for things. Another huge barrier is the volatility. Maybe discussions about the tech - which fundamentally hasn't changed in a decade right? Or the societal impacts/challenges is more worthwhile than "hey do you like $crypto_flavor?" Once mining was out of my personal reach, I have pretty much not paid any attention to it. So I'm neither pro nor con, and I bet there are a ton of people also in that same middle area.
