I've been reading hacker news for years and I can't recall any piece of technology that seems to attract such vitriol and disdain from the community here.

Certain bitcoin criticisms are understandable, but painting the block chain and the whole crypto industry with a broad brush of 'scam', 'shady', 'useless' is just down right moronic and embarrassing.

Many of you claim to be technologists that leverage the power of technology to benefit humanity. Yet you can't plainly see how various projects in the space like ethereum, nano, chain link, cardano etc. have useful applications that will change the landscape of finance and economics forever.

Painfully cynical bunch you lot are.
