Doesn't seem that cryptic or far fetched.
Crypto has given vast amounts of unearned money to a large number of people with... lets just say issues. Nothing on this list is surprising.
Money does weird things to people, but especially unearned windfall money. When people get tons of money they didn't earn in any meaningful way, they know in their heart they don't deserve it. Some people can roll with that and adopt an abundance mentality, but many will instead adopt a narcissistic posture to defend their ego. They have a need to feel special, to believe all that money makes them special and that they weren't just lucky.
I think the last part explains why there's so much racism and misogyny in these communities. People will seize on things like being male, white, or having a high IQ score to explain why they must be special and deserve all that windfall money. It's not just luck, see, because they have a super high IQ and that's why they were smart enough to get in on the ground floor of this new thing. They didn't just buy a lotto ticket and win.
