> As this is attracting some downvotes, how about some citations

Crypto is one of the few topics on HN that has an extremely aggressive following. The followers may not be that numerous, but they'll downvote (and fast, too) on an emotional basis, rather than a rational one, and will thus even downvote simple facts when they displease them.

(not referring to my own posts on crypto, which are at least somewhat opiniated.)
