A phenomenon observed in individuals who have been involved with Bitcoin for an extended period, typically spanning a decade or more, characterized by a growing sense of disillusionment and resentment towards the evolution of Bitcoin and its community. These individuals, often early investors who have amassed significant wealth from Bitcoin's appreciation, express discontent with the perceived divergence of the cryptocurrency and its culture from its original ethos and intended purpose.
This disenchantment is further fueled by conflicts with contemporary Bitcoin proponents, leading to feelings of alienation and betrayal. As a result, individuals experiencing Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome may engage in behaviors contrary to their initial beliefs, such as advocating for or investing in alternative cryptocurrencies ("shitcoins"), potentially engaging in deceptive practices, or withdrawing from the Bitcoin community entirely in a form of protest or disillusionment. The syndrome reflects the deep-seated conflicts within the cryptocurrency community regarding its direction, values, and identity.
