>Does anyone seriously believe that etrade or robinhood advertising options trading to me is somehow different? There are constant commercials for precious metals and ETFs and all kinds of things.
Well they're equally bad in terms of being a scam, unless you are a hedge fund that has enough liquidity to even need options trading in the first place. Not sure what other conclusion you could come up with there.
>What really bothers me is the incredible amount of ignorance I see in the comments section about crypto, blockchain technologies, poor understandings of economics, etc.
Being bothered by the flaws of crypto does not equate to being uninformed. That kind of logic is what I expect from a car salesman, not HN.
Yes, that wasn't nice of me, but being told I'm old and resistant to change because I disagree with someone doesn't engender friendly interpretations.
No asset is a pure force for good nor evil, but there are material issues with crypto and pretending they're ONLY a technicality is convincing no-one.
