Most of these projects are token sales and yes you can discount them as the technology is irrelevant to the scheme

Winners in an ICO utility token sale (a gift card sale, not equity/money only marketed as such). Coin FOUNDERS that get a starting stake. Early INVESTORS that get coins at a discount. INSIDER traders that know when the positive media or coin listing will happen. EXCHANGES that get paid to list and pump the coin. Loser. You the bag holder

But many times it's justified name calling. Because it's not the conspiracy in the theory that is the issue but the lack of evidence in proportion to the strength of their beliefs. And in place of evidence their is paranoia. The problem is conspiracies by their nature are very hard to prove so your evidence for them will likely be weak

Same as health care. Without regulations the industry would be full of snake oil. And yet the regulation kill innovation in the industry. Money all devolutes to scam. Look at digital money. Not even HN community can spot the "crypto" scams

Even the rich lifestyles are greener than in America

Manufacturing is dirty but then the whole world consumes these goods so that's not only a China problem

China has a modern infrastructure with electric transportation and investing in green energy. Their emissions per capital are low

The real problem is the US. High per capital emissions and weak commitments to reduce emissions

They don't even have sound theory to how the network will work. I think bad code is the last of their problems

Agree on all point. Especially with Ethereums great innovations in marketing. Sadly their technical innovations are lacking beyond smoke and mirrors
