I came across my favorite description of crypto just a few days ago on Twitter: "imagine letting your car run idle so it can create solved sudokus that you can trade for heroin".
How is this the top comment here! I'd expect better out of HN users. Even if you don't like bitcoin it's ridiculous to attack it with a joke that doesn't actually map to reality. Sure, it's a pretty good joke, but it's a terrible argument against bitcoin.
It's not an argument at all, it's just a good joke. I'm actually undecided on crypto. Yes we're a professional community and this isn't reddit, but we can have a bit of humor here and there.
