It's the curse of influencers and it's not specific to crypto. Influencers identify a vibe that works with their followers and lean into it, exploiting it for views and shares. Most of the time the vibe is only tangentially related to a much more complicated reality. But complicated reality is boring and vibes are fun, so influencers convince their followers that the vibe is true and the followers become galvanized along the vibe.

I've seen so many people quote a Youtuber as their source for a belief that it's crazy. Even when the primary sources are available. But that's the age we live in.

Realistically I think you're right; I probably have my conspiracy cap on too tight, but it's too perfect to me that the group of people who will soon need crypto the most are being socially incentivized to reject it now. I might have struck a nerve with the anti-crypto vibe enjoyers.

People who oppose fascism; then again, they plan to dismantle the Internet too, and I hope we start talking about meshnets as a counter to that.
