The only thing more annoying than people talking about crypto is people complaining about people talking about crypto. You're just perpetuating the attention cycle.

I've been DCA'ing ETH for a few years now and have somehow managed to both not make it my entire identity, and not constantly complain about the people who do.

The only time I hear about crypto outside of my crypto-specific social spheres is people dunking on crypto and NFT's completely unprompted. We get it, you don't like it, move on.



where are the builders?

are they even on hn anymore?


I wouldn't be surprised if they got tired of the constant negativity when anything related to crypto is mentioned.

I thought this was supposed to be a forum of like minded people interested in technology and its potential applications. Ever since the start of this last bull market it's felt incredibly hostile to anyone even remotely interested in blockchains and related tech. Maybe it's always been like this, I've only been here a couple years.


HN has always had its knee-jerk negativity and dumber biases on some topics, but the extremeness around the crypto stuff really is something novel imo. I find it not worth engaging on the topic here at all anymore (and I've tried earnestly a few times).
