I don't think I'd be so gentle. It is one of the most cringe-worthy things I've seen in quite some time. Makes the crypto space seem like it's entirely inhabited by morons and fools.
I'm not a crypto fan at all, but 'Blithering idiot' this, 'Stupid' that, just turns me off the argument, and even reinforces that the naysayers are just as rabid as the 'bros'.
This looks like really low quality content. It perpetuates the lowest common denominator, fanboy, unintellectual, meme-based discourse that has plagued cryptocurrency since the beginning. You’re not doing anyone any favors with this content.
To be clear: I was being sarcastic. But if I were to inject our comment chain into <insert random crypto appreciation thread here> it'd fit right in, proving your point that the level of silliness is getting to Monty Python levels. We need The Colonel to barge onto the stage and shut it down I feel.
These cryptocurrency threads are reliably causing people to lose both their manners and their minds, and we're going to start moderating them down for a while until this madness blows over.
I dunno, I'm no cryptocurrency fan, but this style of sarcastic writing just rubs me the wrong way.
I absolutely think we should try to convince people to stop this kind of wasteful work, but belittling someone like this isn't likely to change their mind.
This is transparent BS even to those who take cryptocurrency seriously like me. Judging the entire space by the worst of it is stupid IMO. It’s like saying nobody should take any startups seriously because of Theranos or Juicero.
I've always found it odd that people have such guttural reactions to cryptocurrency. It's a technology. Calm down. It's become like politics now. "Fuck Republicans, fuck conservative nonsense." is what I'd expect to hear, not getting pissed over an algorithm. Kinda brings me comedic relief.
Imagine being this bitter about cryptocurrencies. Let me guess, you made fun if it back in like 2010 and all your idiot acquaintances cashed out and now you're even more pissed?
Another example of Bitcoins being run by a bunch of amateur clowns. Drag this poor excuse for a financial instrument behind the shed and put it down already.
