Great that they are looking at Stablecoins, and by extension blockchain / crypto. The unwarranted hate on HN for this tech is a very interesting mirror on perspectives of economics and finance. The crypto economy advances year after year, as does the tech, but you would never know it perusing HN.

It's only "unwarranted" if you're willing to be blind to the entire history of crypto.

Yes, the speculation and scams in crypto grow year after year.

People don't only peruse HN. We've yet to see that amazing growing economy grow beyond speculative trading and scams [1]

[1] Yes, there's a small part of crypto that helps people send money to sanctioned countries

We get it, you don't like crypto. You would be better off leaving the snark and sarcasm at home if you want to get your points across without sounding bitter. Your last line completely contradicts the previous point you were trying to make-- it's clear to anyone that's paying attention that crypto economy has objectively grown beyond speculative trading and scams.

ad hominem, ad hominem, ad hominem, "it's clear to anyone".

nope. it's not clear. and crypto-proponents who can't even show this beyond kindergarten-level name calling don't help
