The fact that they think their crypto is more important than democratic government sovereignty tells you the rest. It's the moral equivalent of "I got mine, screw you".
Why should the crypto whales be in charge? Who elected them? What good do they do for the rest of us?
Crypto doesn't pave the roads, feed the poor, or invest in university science R&D. Instead it wastes energy, causes GPU shortages, peddles away the brains of brilliant engineers on useless tech, and creates incentives for more ransomware.
These folks are hoarding digital Beanie Babies and touting it as the next coming Messiah. What they're really thinking is how rich they'll be if we all fall for the same trap.
Bitcoin sucks.

The thing that gets me is that two downvotes tripped HN's anti-flame/anti-spam filter, and now I can't comment anymore. Whatever. I'm not convincing anybody with strong convictions. My arguments are valid (and not unique to me), and I hope they spread to the broader public.
