Because their criticisms were baseless to begin with. Even after Bitcoin is adopted on a mass level and the coin price is over 100k, people will still be bashing it.

It's been this way for years. Even now that the price is over $6k people are still criticizing Bitcoin, and all I can think is are you still this delusional? People said the same exact shit back when it was 200 bucks and they will be saying it for years to come until the complacency dies with them. If all you can see is the little window of time when it fizzed up along the way ...out of a decade of growth ...you don't deserve to be on the ride.
