I think the reason for this absolute hatred of crypto is that the predominant modern leftist mindset depends on a belief in governance making everything better how to fix healthcare? more government involvement how to fix income inequality? more government involvement crypto is an oil and water situation when it comes to this mindset one of the most OBVIOUS governmental duties is issuing currency crypto being legitimate would mean that this, a basic core use case of governments, is outperformed by the free market it's easier to block out the possibility of this being true than to adjust your fundamental worldviews

also this isn't an "all leftists" thing btw I know there are reasonable leftists in crypto and I share many of their views (Google "Bitcoin and Marx's Theory of History") I'm talking about the popular Bluesky/Reddit branch of the movement
