I think the "wanting to watch the world burn" is only surface level. Bitcoin came about as an experiment / idea directly related to the financial corruption of the world. It's not so much that Bitcoiners all want to see the world burn; it's an acknowledgement that this cannot continue.

Fiat will crash under its own weight, perhaps multiple dumps / jumps in the coming years. Our economies are divorced from reality, and I honestly fear some of these collapse scenarios while at the same time thinking they're inevitable.

I know some bitcoiners have whale stacks and would love to be mega-wealthy (in whatever new paradigm may arise), maybe some portion is actively a Nero type watching the world burn. But most people who are not these types are not saying "crash so we can foist bitcoin on you"... it's more like "this is inevitable for the love of god get some bitcoin"
