Disclaimer, I love Bitcoin and have since the day I first read the White Paper in 2013. I would think HN would be the perfect place to discuss this "new" currency and all its implications but I get a lot of amorphous push back whenever I bring it up here. Complaints seems to be along the lines of it being "not anonymous" or no better than credit cards, arguments I would expect from my 70 year old father but not from the young techies I assume to inhabit this forum.Some day Bitcoin "failed to live up to its promise", another argument I can't grasp. My take is that Bitcoin just seems to rub you guys the wrong way and I would love to know more about why.
