I know you don't control who upvotes your comment, but I find it funny this is the top rated comment.

It has become a total HN cliché that the top comment is a negative takedown of the tech or startup in question. From Dropbox, to Coinbase, to Ethereum, and now to Bitcoin at 50k.

Not refuting anything you're saying here. Just find it amusing to have seen this pattern play out so many times here on HN.

entrepreneur works in blockchain sector and makes millions with no VCs: exists

engineer working at morally dubious ad-retargeting analytics company: "this has no utility whatsoever ($30), I could do that with a database ($7,500)! I'm going to ignore this for entire decades! ($50,000)"

Isn't it pure survivorship bias ? The dropbox thing keeps on being mentioned but for 1 wrong comment about dropbox there are thousands negative valid comments about stupid and failed startups/ideas.
