Yep, I think it's because the HN archetype is a person who held the moral high ground on early crypto being a "scam" for normies, despite understanding it fundamentally, and those same folks are now feeling upset they didn't "get in" in time.

So you are saying that people only dislike the ponzi scheme because they didn't get in early enough. Is that your ethics or these other people's?

FWIW I do own some crypto money, but it's nothing more than a casino game with positive expected winnings to me.

Hahaha

At least I get to see quite clearly how and why people differ. And it looks irreconcilable to me, and based on deep political and civic values.
