My take is HN commenters try to typically reason through articles with thought and an open mind. I would wager there are so many bitcoin bros who hype ad nausea that beckons the skepticism you see here.
I believe the distinction is that if you or I are accused of sour-graping Bitcoin, we cry crocodile tears on the internet, but if Bitcoin bros aren't taken as serious thought leaders of the future world economy, they stand to lose a lot of money, potentially leveraged.
It's a sexist term that degrades the countless amounts of female Bitcoin investors as well as those who identify as trans or POC. I'm surprised it's allowed on HN.
You have called lock downs "arrogant and threatening authoritarian movements" and told someone that saying racist hate groups lead to violence is "hyperbole that isn't going to work for you much longer". You also said that "hn is filled with indignant nocoiners".
I think acting offended by 'bitcoin bros' is hypocritical.
My own comments (many of which I don't remember making, it's possible my account was temporarily compromised) shouldn't have any bearing on the offensive remarks made by others.
