I appreciate informed discussion about bitcoin & nuclear, as both topics are highly relevant to the technical, business, and hacker roots of HN. They seem distinctly different from, say, "anglocentrism" @dang was calling out.

There's no such thing as fair discussion about those topics here.

What does "fair" mean in this usage? If it means one position attracts a lopsided balance of comments either for or against then surely that's always going to be the case?

Otherwise what is your proposition, don't state any opinion unless you find a counter opinion commenter to match with?

Lots of folk here are pro-privacy and lots of folk are anti-bitcoin (and some of them will be the latter because they're the former) so I don't understand how you'd extended your position in a way that leaves HN with any value.
