Could you please explain how?
- haskellandchill 5y agoI'm being sarcastic, I know it's a risky move here but I couldn't help myself. Bitcoin is a scam.
- leto_ii 5y ago> Bitcoin is a scam. You're really tempting fate twice here :))
- sha256kira 5y agoWhats bitcoin again?
- tekromancr 5y agoI would say so. You attempted to use sarcasm in a community of people who dis-proportionally don't pick up on sarcasm, using a medium that notoriously doesn't transmit sarcasm well.
- haskellandchill 5y agoYes but I laughed and maybe a couple others. The OP comment was by a crypto throwaway account, the subtle message was there anyway, I just blew it up. Graeber is completely correct about Haiti getting screwed over by debt but I wanted the Bitcoin message underlying it to be exposed and have more substantial conversation about financial policies that could help. Did it work? Maybe.
- edgyquant 5y agoIt isn’t that people here don’t pick up sarcasm it’s that sarcasm as an entire comment isn’t really welcome here. This isn’t Reddit and comments are supposed to have substance.
- haskellandchill 5y agoIt's both! Sorry I'll see myself out.
- henvic 5y agoBitcoin is definitely a scam. Just like fiat money, though. https://henvic.dev/posts/bitcoin/ https://henvic.dev/posts/bitcoin/
- dang 5y agoWe ban accounts that troll HN as you have in this thread. No more of this please. You've also been posting mostly unsubstantive comments in general lately. Would you please fix this? We're hoping for better than that here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
