I'm not sure that there's a subculture and I think that it'd be (too) easy to label everything that happens that we individually or as a small group of likeminded fellas don't agree with as sociopath. There will always be exploitation but one does not need a subculture for that. I'm convinced that there are tons and tons of sociopaths in the Bitcoin space; very successful ones too.

I also think that the Bitcoin concept and subsequent implementation wasn't really intended to create a subculture; the relevant subculture was already there: the cypherpunk one. Bitcoin is simply one of the products of that subculture; a, if not the, prominent product.

Back to the sociopaths, because they are there but there isn't a clear subculture (at least not to me), I worry that instead there are cults, which is how I feel when some of those iconic "Bitcoiners" of these days speak on stage or podcasts. But then again, maybe I'm just labelling people that I disagree with.
