Point is, I even understand why the "crypto enthusiasts slash bulls" would react like that. This is "their" place. One of the few locations where they are among themselves. Since I'm an enthusiast myself, I can understand it - if almost everyone in the outside world tells you how dumb it is to put money into crypto, it's nice to finally have a place where you are among likeminded.
Ah yes, groupthink, leads to really stupid decisions often enough.
And seriously, those bulls claiming BTC will be worth $1M fairly soon, sometime after the next reward halving, are just too hilarious. That would basicly mean mining turns into $500B+ business by then. No explanation where that kind of money is supposed to come from. But hey, fancy charts which look vaguely scientific. Thats gonna fool quite a few people.

My "troll theory" is actually a lot simpler. There are a lot of people who actually believed this million dollar crap and are now pretty pissed of. And well, considering how most people tick they wont really consider the option "i was stupid falling for this" but instead think "i was cheated". And vent their rage on the forums.
