I have it too. I'm not entirely sure where it comes from, but some significant factors are:
1) Proof-of-work systems are pure, unadulterated energy waste (and an ecological disaster as long as we depend on fossil fuels). They cannot, ever, be allowed to become significant in the economy, lest our future will be building a Dyson sphere around the Sun just to power everyone's ability to pay for a hot dog on their way to work.
2) There are a lot of naive ideas about how economy and society works surrounding major cryptocurrencies.
3) The main users of cryptocurrencies are (AFAIK) criminals and amateur financial speculators.
4) Statistically, you can expect any random startup in this space to be a scam.
It's a wild west. Trading unregulated money tends to disproportionately attract the worst kind of people.
