Unfortunately the people on HackerNews tend to be hostile towards Bitcoin so you probably shouldn't expect a very constructive set of comments here.

(learning to ignore these people was the most financially rewarding thing I've done in my life)

No one is saying you can't make money off of crypto in the same way you would on Gamestop-esq meme stocks. That does not mean a mechanism to gamble (which is what speculative investments are) will end up as a way of commerce (monetary systems).

The fact your indication is very close to the original comment makes me wonder if this is alt-account behavior.

No, I'm a different person, not sure how I can prove that to you though?

Maybe you can prove your identity and humanity (!) with some kind of a distributed immutable ledger. ;)

Nope. Identity management needs a central authority. This will be implemented in web5.0 then.

One of the features of asymmetric key cryptography is that you can only prove that you're the same person (private key).
