This is a big moment that could potentially affect a lot of people. Some HNers may be considering investing- discussion of this opportunity will probably help with this decision making.

Further there are many parties incented to pump hot stocks so they can profit from the fees and possibly from pump-and-dump: investment banks, current investors, soon-to-be investors, etc. I enjoy hearing both sides of the discussion here, and I do feel bad about people being misinformed and taken advantage of, even if it's ultimately their choice whether they buy in to the bullshit.

The major question: is it bullshit, or not? Sounds like HN is undecided
