How is this the top comment here! I'd expect better out of HN users. Even if you don't like bitcoin it's ridiculous to attack it with a joke that doesn't actually map to reality. Sure, it's a pretty good joke, but it's a terrible argument against bitcoin.

It's not an argument at all, it's just a good joke. I'm actually undecided on crypto. Yes we're a professional community and this isn't reddit, but we can have a bit of humor here and there.

Oh I get it, I actually think it's a well written/funny joke. I'm just disappointed whenever Bitcoin/crypto comes up on HN that the top comments are usually very shallow critiques of it. It feels like often a lot of people are rallying around a really low effort comment just because it reaffirms their beliefs. Which in general describes social media :), but I usually expect more out of HN discussions.

Emphasis here on “bit”
