I absolutely fall in the category of crypto haters, for technical, political and moral reasons, and I can't help but feel some joy and excitement when I see it

I absolutely fall in the category of crypto haters, for technical, political and moral reasons, and I can't help but feel some joy and excitement when I see it crashing. Of course I am aware of my strong bias, I don't think I will ever be neutral on this subject, but it does not matter as this bias is only affecting my personal decisions. Is it even possible to build a neutral judgment on this thing?

The point I derive from this is: Cryptocurrency hate will distract you from seeing the bigger picture and dealing with it. Celebrating that bad things burn when good things burn for the same reason (economic downturn) seems like it’s either uninformed or a coping strategy.

  It's the scapegoating impulse, which is extremely strong right now. We know there are many things going wrong, but our way of addressing them is a total crapshoot. And it's easier to illustrate an enemy to fight against and a preexisting concept to defend than to do anything new, so there's always a lot of support for that.
