As a side note, it's interesting to see that most comments on HN agree with the sentiments shared here. Due to HN's pathological distaste for anything crypto and bitcoin by ill-informed association, illustrating a certain level of valley tech-bro closed-mindedness, I've come to dislike spending time on HN. I actually wonder sometimes how Austin bitcoin tech bros relate to this other type of techbros that hype any crap Elon shits out... but that's a discussion for another time. Time to sleep.
