Just to be clear: I downvoted this because I sincerely believe it is not true. I have seen enough negative things about YC backed companies here, especially about Stripe, that I don't buy support spreading this kind of narrative without any evidence. It's not helpful or healthy for this community to spread false accusations.

> I downvoted this because I sincerely believe it is not true. I have seen enough negative things about YC backed companies here, especially about Stripe, that I don't buy support spreading this kind of narrative without any evidence. What narrative? What false accusations exactly? I see "Crypto is scam" comments on here from time to time and I'm looking for an explanation about Stripe's entrance into using crypto-currencies [0] themselves without any answers. It's interesting to see that all the replies here have deliberately avoided my question into where the actual scamming that Stripe is doing in offering crypto payouts, since others like to scream the same "Crypto is scam", 'snake oil' nonsense.

  > Bad look to be silencing negative opinions about YC backed companies. That narrative. I wasn't replying to you, but to the "am assuming my comment noting this will be gone soon too" statement as his comment was bound for a lot of dislikes and I wanted to give him an explanation that that has nothing to do with his perceived reality. I don't care about the Stripe feature and it's not related to the topic of this post, except that both is crypto. If you haven't gotten any satisfying replies in the actual submission you linked why do you think it's necessary to ask about what Stripe is doing in an unrelated story just because it's about bad crypto practices and then complain that you don't get answers to the derail? If you post a story that details that Stripe is actually scamming with crypto (more than just offering the option) I'm sure it would get traction.
