Or it was neither a brilliant nor a hair-brained move and was a reasonably calculated risk which paid off likely due to a mix of luck and prescience? There were many reasonable, intelligent people out there who weren't blinded by the anarchy/libertarian hype and yet still speculated Bitcoin's price would skyrocket based on rational predictions and bets.

The fact that these guys were partly on the ground floor for the rise of one of the most influential tech companies in the world and very much on the ground floor for one of the (so far) highest ROI assets and biggest technological advances (practical blockchain, consensus, and cryptocurrency tech; not Bitcoin in particular) of the past 50 years shows that at the very least they're probably not bozo meatheads in the way Sorkin and Fincher portrayed them (as entertaining as the movie was).
