From a technical perspective I haven't seen people dislike Bitcoin.

It's mostly around the godawful ecosystem of scammers, idiots, shills, and more likely than not if you see someone promoting it they're probably trying to scam or defraud you into doing something rather than an objective technical interest in it.

More often than not I've just seen it start as either affiliate link spam, undisclosed financial conflict of interest, some kind of editor-flame-war-equivalent of whether BCH/BTC/whatever is the true chawin, all sorts of petty bullshit like that instead of anything approaching discussing the technical merits of it.

Personally I wish I could use it a bit more but it's so heavily regulated these days it's an exercise in frustration. I don't want to give a dozen blood samples to an exchange that gets compromised every other day to buy/exchange $20 of BTC, even less so when "meet someone at starbucks localbitcoins" is also demanding equivalent amounts of KYC for $20. My actual-spend would be well under $50/m and I absolutely do not need or want idiotic levels of KYC for playing around with it, seeing if a small company accepts it, etc.
