OP was blaming them for bringing the global economy to its knees.

Regardless: yes there is culturally a big difference in buying bitcoin and getting a mortgage: the latter is not considered a risky investment precisely because everyone isn't expecting you'll get one if you can't pay it off. Bitcoin on the other hand is not a loan, but putting money you already have into a risky investment (note: I'm making a living of cryptocurrencies) .

"OP was blaming them"

No, only partly blaming them, and they are definitely partly to blame.
