It's a very good question. I've been watching this phenomenon since very early on too. I'm pretty sure that recently the perennial appearance of that weasel economist at the New York Times, Paul Krugman made his usual bear market appearance. So, I think it particularly ruffles the feathers of very hard left-leaning college grads that took econ 101 201 and were steeped in Keynesian ideology, which Bitcoin just violates almost all of and therefore can't work.
And then the other kind of person is the ones that are just mad at you for picking something that they didn't pick, that they've been just expressing doubt about. And then every order of magnitude it goes up it hurts them even more.
On top of that, there's an enormous amount of overlap between those two groups.
