๐Ÿ˜† well... To be fair to them[^1], I don't think they're quite like that.

I don't think of them as stereotypical "crypto bros." They're a little different. They seem to specifically love Bitcoin and its original philosophies[^2] from the early days, before other cryptocurrencies appeared. IIRC (I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this a while back, but have forgotten a lot), a few of them were very early Bitcoin collaborators/developers, and some even collaborated with Satoshi Nakamoto.

[^1]: I don't want to paint a wrong or "bad" picture of them because they really seem like nice people. The overall culture there seems more positive than any other social media platform that I've seen.

[^2]: I'm no expert on the original Bitcoin motives, but as far as I can tell, they still think of Bitcoin as a currency, not a commodity or speculative asset like most Bitcoin holders/traders use it today.
