> If most of HN readers share views of Roubini who call cryptocurrencies as "Mother of All Scams", then I'm out of HN.

I don't know about "most", but many do. So do I.

And if I may be so blunt: I won't miss those comments. You have every right to post them, but I will downvote them. :-)

You may want to make this the hill you die on, like I regularly take my downvotes for strongly suggesting that the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the US Constitution are braindead. Or you may decide that you won't face the crowd on this.

But you will not convince the crowd.
