I tried to present the arguments around here in a nuanced way. I don't think that there is much of a closed mind or a simplistic binary rejection, or a taboo, on technical topics here on HN.

The onus is on crypto boosters (who are usually invested and would benefit from more hype) to present better arguments and demonstrate the general benefit/feasability of crypto.

You don't think there's a closed mind because you're never on that other side. So you likely never experience it.

Yes, there are self-serving crypto maximalists. But even if you add nuance, you get downvoted and standard replies debunked years ago. Doesn't matter what you say, the arguments aren't even heard.

That's absolute closed mindedness. And the quality of many of those replies shows how extremely little those people know about it at all.

A massive problem? No. But I'm just telling you it does exist.
