There is plenty of investing/stock market threads/ real estate threads on the forum as well, I don't see them get flamed like this asset class does.
I think it's been repeated to death that crypto is just an investment, it isn't some special snow flake.
''The stock markets down, better go shit on any investors in that thread as well, and repeat stuff people already know''
Everyone gets it.
You wanna know how much time I spend researching crypto crap? Zero now. Hardly ever.
Its like the vegan thread here, but the investment type.
"This is an entrepreneur forum, why are we talking about eating plants"
Same energy.
My commentary/observation is not really about crypto as an asset class or a business tool but the mindset behind it. It's easy to play the "investment" line but there's almost 200 pages of /r/wallstreetbets-style drivel here that speaks for itself.
I have some relatives that play scratch off tickets. It's just $2 or $5 here or there, doesn't cost them much. Maybe a $25 one on the Christmas tree each year. They don't research their scratch off tickets either, just buy them from the store on a whim. Much of this thread is the same and it stems from the same mindset. It's just fun and play money but there's a little sliver of hope in everyone's mind that they'll get lucky and hit the next boom.
And another mere observation: you mentioned spending zero time researching crypto but when I was jumping through random pages on this thread to see the general vibe, you were on every single one. Seems a bit disingenuous. As you said it yourself, "so balls deep in this haha."
There is a level of fanaticism in this thread where the dial is tilted way more towards speculation than CENTS. That isn't the case with any of the real estate or vegan threads.
