As a former eth miner and now crypto un-enthusiast, i was attracted to the idea of contract disruption and value transfers utilizing blockchain but ever since the entire industry has become scams, wall street and *bros, yeah I'd love to see it all crash and burn. Exposing tether would be a great start.
- FabHK 3y agoSame here, former enthusiast now appalled by it. GP: > HN, where everyone reflexively hates crypto Yeah, no, the hate of crypto stems from a fairly well grounded understanding of the technology here. BTW, the good folks at FT Alphaville also mostly hate crypto - there, it stems from a good understanding of finance. Basically, everyone that understands the tech/finance intersection reasonably well hates crypto, with one important caveat best expressed by Upton Sinclair nearly a century ago: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
