This is total rubbish:
"HN isn't a place of ideas, it is a place where where only a narrow, anti-human rights, ideology is tolerated."
If you really believe this then you seriously need to time off to reflect. It simply isn't true. Where is good, the bitcoin community on twitter?
Yes lots of people have made money off crypto. It's hard to say how many as I'm not aware of any research into this figure.
That doesn't negate the criticism thrown at cryptocurrencies. Criticism demonstrates playing with ideas.
- cyphertruck 5y agoNotice your entire response is a downvote and the assertion “that is total rubbish”. Not a rebuttal. Not even an attempt to address the point, followed with a personal attack. Telling me I need a time out is exactly the kind of personal attack that is really just your confession that you are anti-intellectual and you are upset that I pointed out the hypocrisy. And of course you want me to take a “time out” because the last thing you want is to be confronted with facts that undermine your bigotry.
- SunlightEdge 5y agoSo I've asked for an example of a community that is good. Can you give any? Honestly I'd be really interested in knowing about it. On Bitcoin, do you honestly not think there is no cult like behaviours with this movement? No shilling? No ignoring inconvenient facts? I'm not an enermy. I'm happy to have an engaged discussion here. The idea that hacker news is toxic does strike me as absurd. It's not perfect but it's well designed for polite engagement. I'm more than happy to discuss bitcoin with you too. I feel like I've been straw manned.
