Most cryptobros don't give a shit about the moral or ethical implications of what crypto they invest in, what they represent, etc. They just want line go up. No different than investors who invest in diverse ranges of companies. Hedge funds will invest in fossil fuel giants right alongside ecotech startups. The only thing that matters is return.

"Most" is doing some heavy lifting. There are for example some Ethereum "maximalists" who are extremely tribal.
