You don’t have to worry about it if you solve real problems.

The cryptocurrency backlash is coming after a decade of salespeople showing up to make breathless pitches about a fantasy world where you need to pay up front for results they think they might be able to deliver if you give them enough money, but no guarantees.

(Remember the guy who mocked Dropbox? He existed but very clearly did not speak for even a majority of people here.)

Vile hatred? It's a joke website.

Also, if you truly believe in a technology and its future, doesn't "everyone hating it" just widen the inefficiency gap for some folks to make a bunch of money on a technology they are certain will be valuable one day?

I'm not criticizing this particular submisssion but rather the fact that there is now *every* single day a thread where people hate on crypto.

What is the benefit for the community if a place which used to be about acquiring knowledge now spends their time on hating the same thing over and over again every day?

Yeah, those poor emphatic NFT merchants. What’s next? Ridiculing MLM?

Please do not take HN threads further into flamewar. That's the most destructive thing you can do here.

Some ideas deserve to be mocked.
