I'm not sure what you mean about the Etherium news, without the specific post it's hard to discuss it.

Either way, I find crypto to be difficult to discuss online, in general. Mostly because there seems to be fanatics on both sides. You seem to notice more the ones on the "anti" side, I see plenty on the "pro" side. Not to mention the wrinkle where many people who were early adopters believed in it as an actual currency. Today, many of the "pro" comments I read seem to view it as an investment (i.e. phrases like "hodl").

- it's just shitcoins

- nothing is backed with real money

- good riddance, it's all a scam
