The entire media environment around cryptocurrency is utterly hilarious. It's just nonsensical clickbait bollocks from top to bottom.
It's like, ok, so Tesla autopilot crashes sometimes. Let's write an article on rubber because Tesla is a car and the car tyres are made of rubber. Rubber bad!
I'm fully aware that I'm in "old man rants at cloud" territory here, but it baffles me that someone wastes the one life they have writing this stuff, and that people waste their time reading it. And sure, fair, I'm here writing comments on HN. Writing an article is a lot more deliberate than that.
Outside of the development mailing lists I don't think I've seen any actually useful or valuable discussion since bitcointalk forums in the early days.
