I haven't looked at the book, but the author is, a bit. Here's a somewhat banana-pants talk he recently gave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyK4P7ZdOK8

Gold-bug has at times been used as a pejorative against people who criticized central banking and favored gold.

I wonder what pejorative will be coined for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Banana-pants is just too broad. /s
