A lot of crypto nerds swarmed to this field because the tech is undeniably fun, and the whole space is rather interesting and is fun to play in. Kinda like it's more fun writing a multiplayer game than a singleplayer game?

I don't think most of these people are into cryptocurrencies specifically.

They are? Especially the creator of Algorand (a cryptocurrency) Silvio Micali. In his CV [0]

> "Scientific Interests, Cryptocurrencies, Blockchains"

At the bottom of his CV:

> "Technology Transfer: Algorand, Founder and Inventor of the Core Technology"

If that is not 'into' cryptocurrencies, then I don't know what is.
