I'm not sure what I'm writing above that isn't objective

I would love to hear responses vs downvotes to the floor

Do you think that we can regulate crypto into lower energy use?

Change hearts and minds?

Objectivity or its lack has very little to do with downvotes on bitcoin threads. These bring out all the would-be authoritarians to impose their will on HN posts in a way they can't impose it on crypto in the real world.

Thank you.

I get the lightning rod component of these threads.

But head-in-the-sand won't get us anywhere.

I've been on HN looks at profile for 13 years now, not going to register a complaint now but makes me sad to have no discourse.

This. I strongly feel that anyone anti-BTC at this point is basically a state boot licker who loves to push for authoritarian policies. It was designed exactly to ignore these authoritarians. Honey badger doesn’t give a shit.
