Majority opinions seem to lean towards Bitcoin being a net detriment to society but HN will attract a really loud minority of Bitcoin diehards, for tech or profit.
Or so I thought, the amount of people taking offense at Bill Gates saying the uncontroversial is impressive.
I mean I'm going by precedent, there's popular HN threads every so often decrying the externalities or lack of utility of Bitcoin, the comments supporting the articles rise to the top but there's a handful of people saying that Bitcoin is still worth it somehow.
Now there's a lot of people attacking Bill Gates for lending his image to the arguments. It could be that there's a majority of Bitcoin believers here but they don't usually care for arguments and just do "he he miner goes brrr" until a celebrity billionaire appears.
