As someone who used to read /r/bitcoin daily for years, I can confirm this. Economic and business considerations are often disregarded, for example the concept of a "window of opportunity" that one can miss when moving too slowly.

For example, I've been permanently banned from bitcointalk.org for saying "Thank you Alex! I couldn't agree more."
