> Why is Hacker News so anti-crypto?
I have missed the discussion you have mentioned. But I remember 10 years ago HN was opposite to anti-crypto. And the anticryptoness of nowadays for me seems like stupid ppl who don't understand some basic principles and downvote me if attempting to criticize their misunderstanding.
- nxmnxm99 5y agoYou lost your thread and descended into irony quite quickly there.
- eimrine 5y agoIf my English would better I have better quality of discussion, for example better ability to detect not interesting people before talking to them.

Name-calling and assuming that everyone that "doesn't get it" is stupid is non-conducive to discussions. Worse, it makes your point much weaker because now there are only the "true believers that have seen the truth" and the "stupid sheeple" as opposite groups, which is a very stupid take in itself.
- eimrine 5y agoI have no point now, I just trying to figure out of who the hell might be anti-crypto.
- _Algernon_ 5y agoYou get downvoted for assuming that people who disagree with you are stupid. Attack the points being made, not the person making them.
- eimrine 5y agoI do not talk like that with the ppl I have mentioned. Here is another thing because I do not discuss anything except some ppl's attitude. And the ppl did not disagree, they just do not understand some principles.
