This is one of the most disgusting things I've read in a long, long time.

It's home to some of the most entitled jerkoffs on earth. This website needs to call out this rhetoric, because it's riddled with self-congratulatory garbage.

Go ahead and flag me or downvote my comment, but I really can't believe what I'm reading here sometimes.

Please don't fulminate or post in the flamewar style to HN. It's against the rules because, regardless of how right you are or feel you are, it leads to shitty threads. We're trying for better than that here, and you can make your substantive points without it.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Note this one also: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." It's reliably a marker of bad comments and worse threads.

You are on a website focused on tech startups. The people who succeed at tech startups become absurdly rich. I’m in agreement with the parent commenter that hobbling the superstars to give more to poor people is the wrong move. I’m disgusted that people disagree with me, but I also understand why most people remain poor.

If only they had invested early into scam internet tokens like you did, they wouldn’t have these problems

Saying monero is a scam token, shows how much you know about crypto.

This is what everyone says about their scam token.

Monero has proven at scale some cryptography that can be used to change everything. I recommend reading the codebases of projects before you write everything off as a scam. Monero is a legitimate project with enormous value, and active research on problems that matter; it is the primary private / anonymous digital cryptocurrency.

I dont know. Im pretty well off thanks to these “jerkoffs” not only in terms of access to technology but also lucrative employment.
