I think all the bear trolling and attempts at scamming around Bitcoin is super weird. Go to any Precious Metals web forum and you never see bugs talking about TA charts, elliott waves, when to buy, when to sell, trying to call bottoms/tops, blah blah blah.
Interesting observation.
Gold bugs are more at the preserving wealth stage. Coiners largely at the earlier hustling-to-get-wealth stage.
The majority of the bugs I've seen on PM forums are self-admitted millennial age range, which blows a large hole in your statement.
Unless you mean crypto tarders... who are in the hustling-to-go-broke stage.
hmmmm, that's odd, when I was active on the Kitco forum, and later on AgStackers, admittedly 10 years ago, it was a bunch of old farts
