 What stereotype is that exactly? I think bitcoiners are very aware and supportive of people pushing back against evil "elites" and the destruction they leave in their wake.

 The stereotype is that we are all deeply selfish psycopaths. The news is full of stories about our psychological profile and how we only care about getting ourselves rich at the expense of the planet and every other person on it. Comical to us but I know nocoiners who believe it.

Some of us are like that, and all people have faults. But most bitcoiners are caring regular people.

 It’s seen as criminal money. 

Example about how this conversation crosses over into my work. I have arguments against this.

 The classic, criminals use money. Far more crime committed with USD. I bet they breathe air and drink water too.
