It’s possible to get scammed by a person that’s telling you that something is a scam. That’s an affinity scam.

I’m not trying to tell you what to think. I’m saying that there are material flaws in the analysis.

Don't worry, your critique is fair and square, what you have to understand is that you probably piss a fair amount of people here already by virtue of your username alone! Cue takes on how "affinity scam" somehow doesn't apply & even more contrarian moaning re: crypto bad.
Is "crypto bad" even contrarian? It strikes me as the precise opposite: conformity to the "traditional finance good" status quo.
From the point of reference set to HN? I think so, yes, why not?
