GP: > HN, where everyone reflexively hates crypto

Yeah, no, the hate of crypto stems from a fairly well grounded understanding of the technology here. BTW, the good folks at FT Alphaville also mostly hate crypto - there, it stems from a good understanding of finance. Basically, everyone that understands the tech/finance intersection reasonably well hates crypto, with one important caveat best expressed by Upton Sinclair nearly a century ago:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
