The only relevant "crypto" is Bitcoin, when you're actually holding the keys and not delegated to an exchange, and it's primary purpose is not speculation but just transfering money without a trusted third party. I've been using it to move money for over 10 years, and many people I know do too.
It's more like passive-aggresive here. It's also harder to tell signal from noise if someone has to write a 500-word essay instead of saying "you're an idiot".
Yeah my post is flagged by the typical myopic HN user. Anyway to answer your question passive aggressiveness should be called out. It should be flagged. You can't talk to people that way anymore than you can insult them directly.
What I think should be legal to say is hard statements. Like, "You're wrong." Or "what you said doesn't make sense. " You need these statements to express disagreement and I think spending effort to make it polite just derails the conversation for the sake of being polite.
But passive aggressiveness with the intent to refocus the subject of the conversation onto the speaker himself is a deliberate act of malice. That should be flagged.
Both systems have the same problem, in that people need to use intermediaries to accomplish the transactions they want to accomplish. Crypto solves nothing, it converts problems into different problems.
Except I cannot give cash to someone who is not in front of me, while I can send crypto to anyone in the world. You don't need intermediaries to transact in crypto, that's the whole point
Yeah we've been hearing about POOR WAMYN endlessly for the past decade. Let's just stop talking solely about women, because no, they are not the only ones disadvantaged.
I don't even think there's such thing as "aliens", and if there is, it's like the most primitive life on Earth (microbes and such). The idea of being visited by anthropomorphic yet foreign beings from another planets is fun, but I'm certain it will never happen.
