> I have no horse in this race but it seems like a lot of people are rooting for as much pain as possible for Bitcoin as that justifies/makes people feel good for missing its bull run.

I for one am a supporter of progress in finance, no matter the medium, but the crypto fandom is so incredibly insufferable, full of snobs, tech-, environment- and money-illiterate folks that I might as well watch the bubble burst and cheer.

Money illiterate folk are generally poorer, with fewer job options. While the gifters deserve what befalls them, I find it hard to laugh at the misfortunes of those with fewer options that have been conned into this scheme.
