The reason I stopped reading HN (looking deep into the mirror) is that all the smart people here generally have a negative sentiment to something that's math based. It's a head scratcher but easy for me to move on after 14-ish years of being here.

None of the objections to cryptocurrency have anything to do with the fact that it's "math based". Traditional money is also in fact based on math.
It doesn't seem you are being very intellectually generous to the smart people who have come to different conclusions. Crypto doesn't meet my needs but I understand how someone with strong views on monetary policy, government, institutional trust, etc will see value there.
Making an appeal to math doesn't mean something a well designed or even a competitive solution.
Yet you're still here commenting.
move to where?
