Ugh the comments here are just ridiculous. Armchair finance experts saying the rest of the world is just so wrong. Can't argue with true believers.

I feel like we should consider whether crypto related posts should be allowed moving forward. It feels like all crypto discussions are devolving into flame wars.

This site is usually much classier and intelligent than what I generally see in these threads.

Dunno, it seems like you started a thread with name calling.

Fair enough. Was trying to make a constructive point, but clearly my bias leaked through.

Point is that it seems any discussion here is fruitless, just both sides digging in. I usually appreciate the discussions here. These are just frustrating.

Sure I don't have to click, but I still do.

Anyhow my 2c.

Actually what I see near the top is a good discussion with reasonable comments from both sides.

> Armchair finance experts

Just wondering what you think a "real world" finance expert looks like.

Venture capitalist? Fund manager? Nobel prize winner in economics?

Money is made up, a human social construct. A room of of the best experts can't tell you with any accuracy what will happen next, unless they're the central bank.

Censoring crypto as a topic would be an ironic move
