If it’s so easy to debunk my arguments in biochemistry, surely it would be easy to link to an article by people outside of biochemistry and aren’t tied into that industry… that is, a resource completely economically independent of everything related to biochemistry

lol you fucking idiot, did you just compare cryptocurrency to biochemistry? Biochemistry is a series of demonstrable facts orchestrated by the universe. Cryptocurrency is a cottage industry of scammers who directly stand to benefit for every sucker they convince to join in.

Let me put it real simple for you: biochemistry isn't a scam, you absolute moron.

If your point is that it's stupid to seek a resource divorced from the facts of the matter, then that's not entirely braindead. But I didn't say that. I don't want resources that completely sidestep the matter. I want resources from people who don't stand to profit from persuading people to lose their shirts for nothing.

Yikes - you broke the site guidelines repeatedly and badly in this thread. That's seriously not ok.

We ban accounts that do this kind of thing, but I don't want to ban you because before this thread it didn't seem to be a pattern. Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on? We'd be grateful.

That means not posting in the flamewar style anymore. It also means avoiding snark and putdowns and name-calling, and sticking to thoughtful, respective comments. We want curious conversation here, not people bashing each other.

Hey, just to be clear, I acknowledge that you said this. I wanted to give it a couple days to cool off. I am very sorry; I did indeed get lost in the sauce. Thank you for the warning. Should I delete my posts in this thread?

Thanks for the reply! No need to delete - correcting things going forward is the only thing we care about, and I greatly appreciate your intention to do so.
