I find it beyond fascinating that people on this forum who are deeply involved with Web 2.0, completely disregard Web 3.0 as a scam. Technology is growing exponentially during our lifetime, if you are not open to the idea of new technology you will be either late or completely left behind.

Many people thought Web 2.0 was a scam and it would never amount to anything more than an online newspaper. Imagine putting your credit card on the internet, Heavens no!

It’s easy to punch down that what we do not understand.

HN has a surprising amount of luddites. In this case though it's just a matter of people being mad they missed out. It's embarrassing for them since the world presumes all hackers cashed in on Bitcoin. So they feel like failures for not seeing it and rationalize by dismissing cryptocurrencies altogether.
