    >It did for me. It was not meant in a rhetoric way and I didn't meant to discredit anyone. If you got value out of it, that's good. HN has a rather critical approach against NFT and crypto space - not the technology, but the market - and I completely agree. The article bothered me a bit, because if we spend time on short-lived stories like this, we'll spend less time discussing on what's actually there to criticize. Giving to much attention to drama like this is kind of (passively) down playing the real problems. However, what I said with this paragraph is not to be given too much weight. It just rubbed me a bit. I'm not outright anti. Happy new year, Bobby and Traster!
