The fact the parent post has already been modded down is what pisses me off about the crypto currency world - people feel they are entitled to trash altcoins all they want, but say anything bad about bitcoin, and you'll meet the bitcoin bury brigade ("oh no, can't have anyone saying anything perceived as even remotely negative about bitcoin, no no no!") (Betcha if parent hadn't mentioned bitcoin the post wouldn't have been downvoted). Frankly, the toxicity I've seen, especically from the bitcoin bros, would make the early days of the 'Mac vs. PC' blush (not to mention the WS movement going on now). But the thing I especially hate is how modding has become weaponized to silence anyone seen as a foe/critic (aspiring authoritarian, much?): > The thing that gets me is that two downvotes tripped HN's anti-flame/anti-spam filter, and now I can't comment anymore.
