I'm going to lose a few karma points for going meta, but I have to point this. When the top comment to a positive bitcoin related news reads like textbook flame war material[1], I feel sad about the current state of HN. We're supposed to discuss, not to pick sides and borderline troll people who are skeptical about some technology. This attitude is downright childish, and will only spawn very predictable and heated debates. You bought or mined bitcoins and believe in them? That's good for you, I have some too, yay. Yet, I'm not starting flame wars and making fun of non-believers. This brings absolutely nothing. Moreover, it might show a negative image of the bitcoin community.
