It is so tiresome.

  It's not really surprising. HN loathes any technology with a ton of hype surrounding it. 14 years in currency trading/quant/FinTech. Regardless of the tech, if you don't own at least some BTC/ETH at this point, I don't know what to tell you.

    I don't think that's justified. I think HN generally loathes over hyped technology. > if you don't own at least some BTC/ETH at this point, I don't know what to tell you. Nobody asked you to "tell us" anything. The constant "you just need to get on board" schtick really doesn't help any argument that it's not a scam. That joke about vegans applies equally well to crypto-'currency' fans: How do you know someone is a <vegan/crypto fan>? Don't worry, they'll be sure to fucking tell you.

      Yeah, yeah, it's the same shtick from HN technologists about anything new whether it's blockchain, JavaScript frameworks, or even Docker way back when. I stopped heeding the tech elitists here a long time ago and have nothing but benefited from it.
