I was going to post this! I've been in cryptocurrency-land since 2012 and initially the posts on HN were very occasional... now we have 2 or 3 on front-page at any time.
IMO this means that we are reaching peak interest among techies. It happened with node, with angular, with react and now with crypto... it'd be fun to see some data graphs with info from algolia or the HN dataset from GCloud...
Regarding the post: I opposed the fork, but now I think it was the best way to go. When there are irreconcilable views/goals in a community, the best thing to do is to separate ways. It happened with linux distros, with dev frameworks, etc and cryptos are not different, it's just software.
