Absolutely ignorant question: why do Taproot gets so much hate?

Because people are retarded and low dopamine

SN community hates Blockstream

Gregory Maxwell used to be CTO of Blockstream

Same reason why Liquid gets a lot of hate

I knew it was related to Blockstream but I had to verify after trusting my instincts

SN users stridency is only matched by their predictability

Ok, but... it has something to do with the tech itself? Or it's just because it "smells" to some?

I think it's personal not technical

one comment below, Lightning Labs no good, with zero explanation

Yea, that's what I'm seeing. Let's see if there's actually something, I'm going to ask in a post

is not bitcoin

simple as

But it doesn't tries to be bitcoin, so that can't be an argument. It's like criticizing a bike because it's not a car. Well... it's not trying to be a car... it's a bike...

You asked why there's so much hate. Not sure how your analogy tracks.

A better analogy: You ask "why do bikes get so much hate?" on a car forum. "cause not car" is a sufficient reason.

reply

It's really not. Bikes get justified hate for being inherently unsafe. That's a sufficient reason, that's an argument. No one will justify bikes getting hate by saying "it's not a car", that's not how an argument works. Unless it's a flawed argument.

Be mindful I'm not saying that's your argument, but if what you brought up is the common argument, then it can be safely discarded.

Hate is subjective. Literally any answer works.

I agree in the case of subjective hate, no discussion there. But I was just curious if there's anything solid supporting it. Like again, people hating motorbikes because they're widow-making machines.

That is so profound and post modern... NOT
