As I type this reply, the counter says parent comment is 15 minutes old. It is the top comment right now. Why on earth? It is an off-topic comment! Is it because anti-Bitcoin sentiment is popular? Or is it because on HN the top comment must always be negative, even if off-topic, for some weird bias of the community?
