"pervasive bias"? Prior to the bubble popping, crypto was hot on HN, and people aggressively attacked anybody with anything negative to say about crypto as so many people were either HODLing or running something within the space.
- throwaway22032 4y agoYou are describing exactly the same phenomenon as I. On here, it's all about the money, the exchanges, Gox, FTX, companies that scam, badcoins that scam, whatever the latest "crash" is, and not about the freedom to transact, which does not fluctuate with a chart line or the successes of a corporation.
- vinceguidry 4y agoI never remember crypto being hot on HN. People talked about it, sure, but there was as many people calling it a scam as there has been folks pumping it up. AI is treated better here than crypto ever was.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoI actually stopped visiting HN for a time because of the hyping of crypto. There's a good chance that comments or posts got deleted over time, but I see most things as they happen because I'm terminally online.
