That seems rather silly. I am not going to hound you about your dislike of Bitcoin people. You are ENTITLED to dislike them.

I just note that you have no idea what you are talking about and therefore discount your opinion accordingly.

The people who are the most enthusiastic about cryptocurrency are typically the least informed.

"You know nothing, your opinion is invalid" is a classic "crypto" talking point.

"You don't understand Bitcoin," they shriek while failing to comprehend the precarious position their beloved asset is in. "Bitcoin can't have bubbles, it's mathematically impossible," yell their cheerleaders.

All the OP said is "I don't like Bitcoin people", without giving any reasons (even saying he can't give reasons). Why should people assume he made an informed decision, based on merely that? Also, many comments really show that people don't properly understand it - can you blame people for noticing and dismissing those comments?

And I question your claim about enthusiastic people being the least informed. I'd say the people who work on it and dedicate their lives to improving the infrastructure are both enthusiastic and informed. Of course there are also enthusiastic people who are misinformed.
