Objectivity or its lack has very little to do with downvotes on bitcoin threads. These bring out all the would-be authoritarians to impose their will on HN posts in a way they can't impose it on crypto in the real world.

Thank you.

I get the lightning rod component of these threads.

But head-in-the-sand won't get us anywhere.

I've been on HN looks at profile for 13 years now, not going to register a complaint now but makes me sad to have no discourse.

This. I strongly feel that anyone anti-BTC at this point is basically a state boot licker who loves to push for authoritarian policies. It was designed exactly to ignore these authoritarians. Honey badger doesn’t give a shit.
