I think the reason they're overwhelmingly positive is because they don't care about bubble-bursts and market volatility. They're approaching it from an amoral standpoint & just reviewing the tech. Once they get into the details of mining and supply rules set up by some anonymous benevolent individual I think it may get soured.
