I wasn't aware that "crypto-bro" was considered an attack of any sort. If you took it as insulting I'll avoid its use in the future (Edit: and I apologize for the inadvertent insult).
Edit: I though "crypto-bro" is just a short hand for "ardent cryptocurrency supporter". Does it have some other negative meaning/connotation that I am not aware of?
no worries, but yeah it's widely considered an insult the top ranked definition on urban dictionary
> A nerd with too much spare time and video cards. Thinks he is smarter than you because he buys and resells burnt forests. Will ignore any meaningful arguments against what he does by repeating something about "serious business" 1000 times.
for that matter, the '-bro' suffix is almost exclusively used as an insult
