Who are these “cryptobros” you are talking about? I dont think it makes sense to shove all people who use some technology in the same group, just because of a vocal minority.
You know exactly who they’re talking about, you even reference it at the end with “vocal minority.” It’s not a minority though, I don’t know how you could jump on board with the concept without being enthusiastic about it. I don’t know a single person involved in crypto that isn’t singing its praises to a fault, online or offline, and “coincidentally” they all dislike when the “bad guys” get involved despite going on about endless use cases.
I’m tired of seeing arguments that it’s just a tool/technology. Folks always claim it’s somehow being used incorrectly because the use case doesn’t match expectations. It’s more an ideology (borderline mysticism with some claims made about it) and always has been, which is why calling people a cryptobro even sprung up. Being defensive about it/staying in denial about that doesn’t improve the situation.
Why does this just feel like a bad faith Reddit response? Like, to the point it got me and is now making me respond? Just scrolling through your comment history is a sea of negativity directed toward others here. I’m not talking civil disagreement and discussion, but constant disbelief and outrage at others in the community. Can we leave that stuff at the door when we come here?

Please show me where I posted anything like that.

But it is a technology. You disliking the userbase doesnt change that.
Just scrolling through your comment history is a sea of negativity directed toward others here.
So you obviously read nothing more than my last five comments.
It seems like you have some irrational hatred of anything crypto, and instead of a factual discussion, you resort to personal attacks against me. How about we leave that at the door?
