this community has been reactionary to bitcoin since day 1. crypto is a generational shift, more so than web 2.0 and the glory days of hacker news. the audience here is predominantly the pre-crypto generation, much like slashdot is the voice of the dot com generation.

we all need skepticism in our arsenal and that is what you can expect here, brilliant at times but hn is simply not the voice of this moment. you will be frustrated if you forget this rather than accepting it.

Thanks for your observation. I was an old /. user who eventually found his way here and have always felt to be in likeminded company, but I understand that technology often outpaces culture, even among the tech vanguard. I hope that people remain openminded despite their criticism, and are willing to reevaluate cryptocurrencies and blockchains as the technology matures and becomes more widespread.
