Whatever the price crypto currency cultists will buy them all.

The people that buy GPUs for mining don't really have to believe that cryptocurrencies are the future; they just have to run the numbers and see that mining is profitable with a specific hardware, it's not belief but economics.
You have to believe that it'll stay profitable for long enough to repay the investment, which is dubious at present. It definitely is a belief.
Participating in cults is profitable for a subset of cultists.
Providing services to cultists certainly does not make you a cultist :)

What motivates people to write these silly comments attacking cryptocurrency investors? Jealousy?

Desire to easily buy GPUs for gaming at a reasonable price!
