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.
