It's a movement driven in no small part by rage. By people who looked at [the financial crash of] 2008 - who looked at the system as it exists - but concluded that the problems with capitalism were that it didn't provide enough opportunities to be the boot.

All credit to Dan Olson's masterpeice video Line Goes Up - The Problem With NFTs. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go watch the whole thing again.
