I've seen this a lot with my own circle of friends, I think there's a few reasons why "techies" don't like it as much:

- they already trust the government and their institutions and don't see the need for it,

- they hear all the FUD and don't want/have time to research further,

- maybe some feeling of having missed out (especially for those that knew about it very early on or sold it for very cheap),

- seeing some "stupid loud mouths" who yolo'd and made a lot of money in it.

It's very interesting to see.

Strange given that most americans don't trust their government (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/05/17/public-trust...) Maybe trust in government is correlated with how well you're doing, and techies tend to be doing very well?
