I believe many people who hate crypto are the ones that have a good life in a relatively non(or less)-corrupted government-led society, which might be a good reflection of HN demographics. For them, crypto has no value because I think the biggest value proposition is decentralization, which those people don't need as they don't have a corruption problem to solve. They already have a good income, good country and system to live in, etc.
Add the many scams going on in the web3 space and it's easy to see why most people don't like it.
As a developer who started to turn into crypto recently:
I live in a corrupted country with a corrupted government that has too much power and has no good intentions for its people.
I can easily get crypto tokens or some other form of compensation for doing some work for a crypto company, which usually pays much better than regular work, while exploring new ways of thinking about how money and economy works in the first place.
As a developer I feel enthusiastic about everything crypto can offer, and learning more about Solidity development and inter-chain communications and new scalable layers just excite me even more.
There is not a single reason for me to not love crypto.
It's all about demographics.
