Not sure why this is getting downvoted - to some degree or another it describes the majority of the crypto enthusiasts I know.
Furthermore I'm not even going to bother sending them this paper because I know that most of them rarely read anything longer than a Tweet.
- seanhunter 5y agoIt's being downvoted because these kinds of black and white arguments which just call people names don't actually add anything to understanding. There are plenty of people other than died-in-the-wool haters or blind enthusiasts/hucksters. I personally fall between those two camps as do several others in these threads.
- fastball 5y agoWell you describe them as "crypto enthusiasts" so maybe the part of the crypto community you are interacting with is self-selecting?
- capableweb 5y ago> Not sure why this is getting downvoted I'm not entirely sure either (and I didn't, for the record) but I could imagine why people would. Grouping a huge industry into just two groups generally is seen as over-simplification, and I would agree with that. There are clearly people working in the space that don't fit in in either groups.
- mrfox321 5y agoEven users on HN use downvote to "disagree" even if the intended functionality is to denote the comment as "low quality" or "irrelevant".
