A whole generation of people who don't know how horrible Microsoft was. Two decades later, people are still bitter. The amount of great tech that got stifled.... SMH.
You should look elsewhere (even google) for advice or to understand cryptocurrencies. Avoid at all costs this site (extremely uninformed negativity) and YouTube (extremely uninformed shillers).
I don't know what "discourse" you are talking about. I've been reading about crypto on hacker news before bitcoin hit one dollar. Other than r/buttcoin and yahoo groups, this site has been one of the most anti crypto places you can visit, to the point of being an absolute embarrassment.
It has been a lesson to me about humans and intelligence since that time.
Still love the place though, but I learned never to let comments be the source of the things I need to investigate.
A lot of “decent” people here would testify against their mother if the SEC showed up. I’m not convinced. Gensler is a fraud who is captured by monied interests.
