"Crypto community" is not a unified group of people, holding hands and singing "kumbaya", you know?
Quite the opposite - fights and accusing almost all competing projects of technical and/or moral failures are a bread and butter of crypto.
It's safe to say that most people in crypto space admits that the space is somewhat shady. How else could it be? Money are involved so it attracts people trying to exploit it and brings the worst side of many, otherwise decent participants, and anyone can create yet another crypto project and there's nothing to stop them. And it's always "your word and opinion against mine" kind of thing.
BTW. It's funny how many people on HN, have no problem with "regular" SV companies often based on: praying on dark marketing patterns, human dopamine addiction, data collection, overly optimistic return projections and so many other "sins", but are quick to discredit "crypto" as a whole, to the point where they would ban it from using their favorite programming languages. :D
I didn't see anyone discussions banning crypto users from Haskell - it's certainly not in the original article. The point was about which actors have the most influence on the community. Apparently the author is also very concerned about companies like Facebook which you might call more respectable.
