It's something I've seen a lot all over the internet in the last few years, but the reason it stops any insightful discussion is that people think that if you disagree with them you must be on the other extreme. After they decided that, there's no way to convince them you're not. This only leads to people getting more and more extreme with their opinions, kinda like if you're not an extremist nobody will listen to you. I'm mostly talking about politics here but the crypto example you gave applies perfectly too, everyone is either a poorfag seething because they missed the train or an evil capitalist that has a huge farm of computers mining 24/7 that he calls his polution machine to make money.
