There are legitimate criticism to blockchain technologies and arguments that could be made against its usefulness in the future.
However, one of the things that fuel my believe on blockchain is how many the arguments against it are falacies and/or full of ignorance like this one.
"Someone made the wrong assertion that git is blockchain IMPLIES THAT blockchain is going down and their adepts are desperate" a very simple fallacy to realize to be honest, not worthy of hacker news.
Also ignorant things like: "stumping up in a complicated, exclusionary, and non-existent proof-of-stake system its advocates claim is just around the corner every six months"
1. It is not complicated, I understand it 2. It is less exclusionary than proof of work 3. It exists 4. It launches next month (aprox 15th September) on Ethereum
