Which boils down to the fact that it's entirely rational to be negative about crypto.

Crypto is interesting as a kind of libertarian pseudo-oppositional secular religion that flatters itself that it's edgy and non-conformist but is actually dead-centre mainstream in a capitalist culture with consistent shades of criminality dedicated to making money at any cost.

And that applies to everything except for Bitcoin. Otherwise we’re just telling fairytales.

No, the meme goes: "Even Bitcoin?" / "Especially Bitcoin".

The tech is interesting, it was still embedded in and made to promote an ideology that's frankly just immature fantasy. You can't separate the symbol from the religion it was born in, and born to promote.

"entirely rational" is subjective, how can it be a fact?
