No, it isn't.

I side with crypto all the time and I see plenty of other people do it too. I also see the same loud voices, with a lot of karma, repeat their tropes over and over again. If people believe that it is "dangerous", that is a sad way to control a narrative.

Here we are 10+ years later and crypto hasn't gone to zero. If anything, it is discussed more than ever. What HN requires is sane responses about crypto, and this is one of them.

My past experiences with saying anything positive about crypto has being:

- Being downvoted to hell - Comments attacking crypto disrergading completely my opinion

You get enough karma, a few downvotes always happens and it doesn't hurt as bad. I have people who follow me around downvoting me. Who cares. =)

ProTip: HN isn't looking for personal opinion on crypto. I'm not either for that matter, in either direction. That's why it is easy to rebuke the haters. They are so engrossed with their hate that they can't see that what they are saying is just repeated and boring trope. Easy to score karma against that.
