The only bitcoin person I've met IRL consistently made a bunch of bad decisions on a wide variety of topics.

So I guess the moral of the story is "Take risks"? Surely those bad decisions don't nullify becoming a "bitcoin person" (or a rich person).

What makes you think Bitcoin is overwhelmingly popular among techies? I can only name 3 techie friends who have ever actually used Bitcoin at any point in their lives, and I do not think any of them are still using it.
the tl;dr is "the GOOOOVernment mannnn money money govt sucks MUGGERS. bitcoin is stupid. bitcoin is GREAT! credit cards are like bitcoin but the BANKS are the REAAAAL thiefs post-modernism post-modernism capitalism 'Hello!' the government. THE government. wallets were stupid to begin with. Electronic currency is flawed i hate bitcoin/creditcard cash is flawed cash. Rousseau."
My 2 cents, FWIW... the people I see locally spoutin bitcoin aren't true patriots who believe in ultimate freedom, they're more like get-rich-quick-schemers lol
