I'm pretty sure it's primarily poor people buying into crypto, not tech workers. Go to r/cryptocurrency and read the posts, does it look like HN (primarily tech people)? are there any technical discussions, or is it just full of get-rich-quick hopers? hint: posts mostly consist of "<famous guy> tweeted about <my favourite shitcoin>, this is good for the price of <my favourite shitcoin>".

Correct. If anything, tech workers like we find on HN tend to be more openly against Bitcoin (specifically) and cryptocurrency in general. The people I see buying it on /r/cryptocurrency are the ones posting "finally managed to get 0.01 BTC!"
