> It reminds me of when everyone was talking about “brogrammers” a while ago, and it had a pretty clear connotation of “programmer who loves keg stands, hitting the gym, and making misogynistic comments”. I think “crypto bro” and “tech bro” don’t have that connotation at all, or at least that’s never how I perceived SBF.
I’d say they have related connotations. Less about explicit invocations of masculinity like beer and the gym, more about being egotistical or solipsistic or “highly confident in oneself while actually being wrong”. Not quite the same thing as the traits you mentioned, but associated with them, for better or worse.
