What you mentioned above is my primary thesis as well- know enough to sound cynical and pseudo-intellectual at a party, but not enough to put their money on their position(either short or long based on their conviction levels)

yeah, to most people cyrpto has extreme negative association, and when you look at half the crooks and dickheads in the space, it's not hard to see why 

I think the 'crypto bros' have confused the public. *eventually* the markets will figure it out but it will take time.

Why do left leaning folks not get Bitcoin?

a lot of them are just as uninterested and uneducated as the average person, memorized a few media soundbites and seen one too many crypto bros and formed an opinion. 

i would imagine that for a leftie the whole 'bitcoin is bad for the environment' line is a big deal too
