What's weird is I don't see any anti-crypto comments except in reply to your anti-anti thoughts. The arguments you're stating seem mostly straw-men to me.
Some people get very very excited about crypto and kind of overly sensitive to discourse. I think some of that is early-adopter fervor.
Some of it, too, could be the understanding that the more adoption it gets the better the party is. The higher coin-caps go, the more respect, legitimacy and outside resources they command.
Take stocks on the other hand. If you tell me the stocks I'm buying are worthless-- that's good for me! It means you're not buying and driving the prices up when I buy and better prices when the businesses repurchase shares. So maybe that's partly why I don't care when people disparage stock ownership.
Point is, sometimes I wish labels like "pro-" or "anti-" crypto fell out of use-- it's a complex topic and most thoughtful people have more nuanced views.
