Right? Back in 2016/2017 it seemed more open. There was discussion about technology. I remember quite a bit about Bitcoin and blockchain, Ethereum, smart contract platforms etc. There's been a lot of technical innovation in these areas. Ethereum has a real product in DeFi nowadays and there's been some really amazing technical achievements. With Ethereum's move to PoS it will put the argument of energy consumption behind us and then the merits of having a distributed worldwide computation system might get talked about again. I don't get the hate now. Maybe people are just holding backs and are bitter about it
