You are not witnessing normal conversations. You are witnessing engagement on blockchain articles that are themselves only popular whenever the coins are skyrocketing in price. That is the context most of the time. Even though the articles often spend little time on the price. Similarly, the anti-narrative usually attempts to refute the technology but is benefiting from the "this price is nonsense don't purchase this" crowd. And for me, "I am holding coins and writing / promoting positive articles" seems like the slimier position. I love the tech and absolutely hate the profit motive. It is very easy for me to see "pro tech" arguments as just pumping. The tech has almost nothing to do with the price. The tech establishes that a non-zero price can exist, the rest is people manipulation.
