It’s pathetic because you’re just writing nonsense and can’t even describe anything practically productive about crypto. None. By the way, I could ALSO write you 10,000 word salad about how commonly found stones can solve the wrongs in modern finance. That doesn’t say anything about common stones. It just says modern finance is FLAWED.

You are not showing yourself to be a person that it is worthwhile for this person to waste time on. There are other people in this thread with your point of view but who are commenting in good faith, rather than in bad faith like you are.

  Bad faith involves deliberately hiding some truth. It doesn't mean "thing you call someone when you can't win the argument". And I suspect you know that, which means... ;)

    That is one kind of bad faith argument but there are others. In this case it is asserting that something is some adjective ("pathetic"), getting a response, and then just reasserting the same thing without responding to the response.

      It was a bit brusque. I think that's the word you're looking for. If that's what bad faith means to you (which still seems a stretch of the definition so you can get the guidelines invoked and win the internet) then both sides of the discussion are guilty of this. On the other side of the aisle, we have people pointing out that there aren't any interesting dApps, with the reply being: "Sure there are! Here's a list dApps that are just more layers on moving cryptocurrency!" That's only interesting if you assume the blockchain is valuable and interesting. This is a circular argument. Do you have anything better? "Sure do! Here's a list dApps that are just more layers on moving cryptocurrency! Register on this site to hear me talk about NFTs!" Is that "bad faith" too? I don't think so. There's a divide though, and it's a tiresome one. Some of us think the emperor has no clothes. Others think they are the best clothes ever. We probably all need our eyes checked.

        There's a difference between "pointing out that there aren't any interesting dApps" and saying "This is just pathetic". The former is a reasonable point to make while the latter is a bad faith insult.

        Instead of the thinly veiled ad hominem of trying to paint the user as a troll by crying "bad faith! bad faith!" Why didn't you provide some killer examples instead? This omission is as frequent as it is telling.
