Honestly, that someone can be this confidently incorrect is really fascinating to me, both in theory and practice.
Even setting aside the fact that you're wrong in practice (i.e. there are already far more efficient cryptocurrencies in existence today) it's just very weird that the sort of person who goes to a site like this will confidently say something that's roughly equivalent to "We've reached the maximum speed of CPUs, they cannot get faster than this."
- zeven7 4y agoThis sums up how I feel about so many crypto related comments on HN. Just look at this thread. It's full of people confidently presenting 100% false statements as facts. Several of the comments contain something like "I looked into crypto years ago and then I saw problem X and discarded it." My guess is remorse because they could have been "early" compounded with confirmation bias. To anyone who spent a few hours, days, weeks looking into crypto a few years ago and thinks you have any idea what's been going on in research in the field since then you're sorely mistaken.
