It's a psyop. Not sure who's behind it, and I'm not a conspiracist, but you can't be that diligently, persistently ignorant and combative without skin in the game.

I've never visited this subreddit but...
You should be a conspiracy theorist if it is more likely to you that it is a psyop. It takes more faith to think that than they are is just a bunch of opinionated dummies on the Internet. You have used the Internet right? People are really really dumb and really really stubborn.
The more it becomes clear that someone missed the boat the more strongly their brain is telling them they aren't wrong to preserve their ego. This will break at some point but for MANY people it hasn't.

I try to avoid conspiracy thinking, but we all indulge a little, right? 🤠
You may be right. There are probably dedicated subs making fun of atheists, second amendment absolutists, etc.

How would they profit from bashing Bitcoin while holding it?

Either they don't hold it, but rather another risk-on or inflation-hedge asset that is suppressed by Bitcoin's gains (gold, say); or they are trying to suppress Bitcoin while accumulating it.
Like why is it specifically Bitcoin? They could just have a sub making fun of all kinds of things: moon landing deniers, 9/11 truthers, birthers, AND Bitcoin.

Because they're not right in the head and / or (but mostly and) are specifically butthurt about losing out.

Exactly. Very common human reaction to being wrong or appearing to be wrong.

Nah I don't mind. They're having a good time and mostly not trolling elsewhere (like here). Maybe they have some valid criticisms, but not likely anything that hasn't been addressed in the last 15 years. I think they'll just give up, or maybe in 20 years they'll catch on.

The thing about that behavior... the results are what they deserve. Paying the dumb tax.
