>I’m blown away by how anti-crypto this discussion is. I hadn’t realized how negative the prevailing sentiment is on Hacker News.

There was a dream that was crypto once upon a time. It is now exclusively the domain of organized crime, grifters, and every imaginable permutation of ne'er-do-well you can possibly scrape up on the web. The entire space sickens and disappoints me.

All of those things exist with anything that is easily exchangeable and valuable. I am confident there are more people using crypto for legitimate purposes than there are scammers. I would question why examples of ne'er-do-wells in crypto is all you hear about.
