This is super common on HN. Just look at threads on Tesla. Fortunately betting against someone with a closed mind is super profitable, because they'll always mis-price the risk/reward.
I don't want to profit from the ignorance over here. What for? I have enough. I'm done. I just find it sad so many bright people are still led to take the wrong decisions.
Someone else said, if god had wanted to help the geeks, it couldn't have been done better - anyone could mine, at the cost of $0 on a CPU back then.
I was bitten by the HN naysayers and didn't. Fortunately, I quickly realized my mistake and just worked in the field.
It's sad so many people want to double down and triple down on their past errors. As long as they can live with the consequences of their actions, I guess it's their problem, not mine. That doesn't make it any less sad.
