I just want to pop in and say something, as a blockchain dev deep into this tech and pouring my heart and soul into technology that will one day help everyone whether they understand how a blockchain or NFT works or not. (How many car owners are also mechanics or auto industry experts?)
The level of discourse I see on Hacker News surrounding NFTs and crypto is abysmally arrogant, misguided, ignorant and so profoundly vitriolic that it is incredibly energy-consuming to engage with the amount of misinformation.
There is no hope for a reasonable discussion, everyone is coming to the table with their own opinions and not listening to what industry experts have to say.
These are some of the most toxic discourses I see on HN, and some of the most fruitless. I have so much to say on the subject, one of my favorite subjects, and I'm scared and nervous to contribute anything lest I get bombarded with narrow-minded, played-out talking points.
Can we as a community please improve this situation? We're forming our own crypto bubble, an anti-crypto bubble. It's just as toxic and just as misguided.
- Jensson 5y ago> an anti-crypto bubble HN is the only place I've seen a significant number of people who are pro NFT's. Everywhere else everyone just agrees they are scams and that is the end of the discussion. Might be some NFT communities where it is different, I'm talking about non-NFT forums here.
