Seems like majority of HN hates crypto which is disappointing. Luckily there are a ton of great subreddits, slack, telegram, and discord channels out there.

They may dislike the current state cryptocurrencies are in while fully supporting the underlying idea.

This really. Nothing against cryptos but have developed a distaste for the ecosystem in general. I was sold on the idea of a currency that could help people in third world countries with stupid banking policies but instead 99% of the money in crypto is speculation waiting to cash out to fiat.

I totally agree with you, but then again, if software doesn't solve a people problem, it's bad software. This is what you learn in your engineering career.

Cryptocurrencies are technically amazing, and yet they fall short of actually solving any problem.
