It's been said many times before, but Bitcoin allows people who have certain worldview (libertarian) to self-finance their projects and bypass investors, VCs, politicians etc. This is very powerful. It's not just some asset you invest in in the hope for some future gains. For many people it's a way to stop being couch political activists and start actually implementing what they believe in. That's why so many people are angry about Bitcoin - they truly dislike what it represents and allows.
Here's a tweet that said it perfectly:
"Cypherpunks are libertarians who stopped whining."

This is just like someone's mom telling their kid "they're bullying you because they're jealous". The arguments against cryptocurrencies are legion. Some of those are arguments are very good. Some not so much. But this argument of yours is nothing more than a baseless ad hominem attack leveled at people you disagree with.
- snitko 9y agoI wish. I actually faced many of those people in real life. People are really angry about Bitcoin.
