The original bitcoin software ran on Windows if I'm not mistaken, so I don't know about "mostly Linux users".

Maybe it was different in the US. In Europe I get the impression the FOSS community is predominantly left-leaning. My local Debian community certainly is, and they're anti-cryptocurrency (like myself).

Slashdot was also quite skewed against bitcoin, and that was a pretty international geek readership.
