just here to wish you good luck arguing with HN people on crypto. I've given up, there are a lot of interesting people writing on various topics but when it comes to Crypto, it's like coming into a MAGA group on Facebook and suggesting there is a better alternative to Trump. This doesn't end well lmao
> there are a lot of interesting people writing on various topics but when it comes to Crypto,
But when it comes to Crypto there's almost literally nothing interesting to come out of it except:
- scams
- ponzi schemes
- other get rich quick schemes
- schemes that ignore any and all reality
- schemes that are better done using almost literally any other technology (including Brainfuck and MS Access)
- Vitalik's long-winded essays that are either superficial takes on some distant future or technical reports on fixing something in ethereum
And yet for over 10 years now we've been hearing that "there are good and interesting things happening in crypto".
Edit: oh, there's some usefulness there as well: circumventing government rigulations to pay for something illegal, or to be an unregulated uninsured "at your own risk" alternative to Western Union or Moneygram
Yeah not sure why I try, you get some really heated people who live in a bubble and think crypto has never done anything whatsoever, or others who expect it to have replaced global finance in the mere 10 years it's been alive lol.
