Despite still not really showing any utility these tech companies want so so so much for cryptocurrency to catch on.

It feels like the entirety of cryptocurrency, outside of being a thing people used to buy drugs, has been an example of Chesterton's Fence, with half of Silicon Valley in denial of this fact.

I think HN is just getting more old and conservative (lowercase c) and is not interested in new things in this area.

We have people in this thread praising KYC.

The pendulum has swung a little too far that way, for sure. But when the so-called "cryptocurrency" industry either have business models that are barely concealed ponzis/rugpulls, or run their own "cryptocurrencies" that are only marginally better than a centralised database, it's hard to blame the critics.

Satoshi Nakamoto must be rolling in his grave.
