If I ever come to HN and the top comment about Bitcoin is NOT a grumpy “I could build that in a weekend with Aws” style comment I will know the top is finally in. I think the issue is Bitcoin is no longer tech news- its a finance, or social or business topic and for some reason it inspires engineers to try to reanalyze everything from first principles to write angry comments that miss the forest for the trees. I can only imagine how something like NFTs which truly appear to be a baseless speculative mania would go over.

The recent thread about Nyan Cat's NFT sale is an indicator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26196027

From the comments: "The comments in this thread resemble comments dismissing BTC in 2011/2012"

Welp, you were right!
