  Us technobabblers need to unite on why Bitcoin is valuable. I've been hammering on the part where the Bitcoin network is doing 7 quadrillion hashes a second right now. All of that work/energy is going into securing the coin for current and future transactions. It is, simply put, a platform of trust powered by the most massive compute engine humanity has ever built.

    It doesn't matter. There are plenty of good things about Bitcoin which folks need to do <5mins of research to find out about. The vitriol on HN shocks me though. I would've thought this community would love something like bitcoin. But instead of good quality discussions most bitcoin threads here turn into haters vs 'fanboys'. You are a 'fanboy'. It's pretty hard to get taken seriously once that happens.... :(
