>HN's hate for crypto is hilarious.
Really? I don't recall members of "our own tribe" sitting down and cranking out 2 hours of VHS video takedowns of "the web" or "email".[0]

- betwixthewires 5y agoNo, you had members of the dying tribe do that. Time will tell if this is the same thing or not.
- bookaway 5y agoNo, the dying tribe never went to these extensive lengths and exhibited this level of disgust toward the web or email during its initial rise.
- magicjosh 5y agoWhat was the dying tribe in your example? Like how would you define it.
- magicjosh 5y agoThis prompts an interesting question! Even though I'm a crypto fan I have a hard time thinking that this will cause some giant rift in tech. But it seems like it may already have! If theoretically many anti-crypto people do turn out to be the dying tribe, what does that mean? What does that future world look like? What does the living tribe end up looking like?
- betwixthewires 5y agoIt looks a lot like no more blockbuster, things more like Netflix, and a whole bunch of people selling their music on Spotify and bandcamp. Basically, some people don't make it, some new ones do, and a lot of people adapt, some reluctantly or disgruntled and some realize they were wrong. I might be the one realizing I'm wrong, but of course I doubt it.
