I'm working on an analogy between Bitcoin evangelists and anti-vaxxers:

- something bad happens to someone doing the conventional thing (vaccination, banking)

- people panic about it on the internet

- there is a lack of trust in other people and institutions

- people pull away from the conventional system

- in the short term it's fine

- then there is an epidemic (measles, fraud/loss)

- this is much worse than the system they rejected, so they resort to denial

- everyone else says "I told you so"
