A reply with useful information works better than writing that someone absolutely doesn’t know what they’re talking about, but your comment did spur me to look more into the subject.
Then I'm happy you gained something from our conversation!
I made my initial reply because the amount of disinformation about crypto on HN is frightening.
You may want to incorporate that to your "reading lens" priors when reading dismissive information here: there is a large probability the person has no idea what they are talking about, and is simply repeating something.
And BTW it's not a value judgement, as repeating stuff that's true is good, valuable, and a valid default heuristic for most other topics on HN.
