Some interesting observations muddled by poor articulation. I hope this trend of describing everything as "toxic" (when other more specific words exist) will go away.
For example, the author could use the word "evangelism" rather than "toxicity" and drill down much deeper to the core mechanism of what's going on. Are individuals being toxic within a community? Absolutely. But are they being accepted because "the ends justify the means" for the evangelists? Almost certainly.
That, I think, could be a real story being buried beneath the baited lede of "not only crypto supporters but DETRACTORS are being 'toxic'" so it's unfortunate that's never explored in more detail.
