Reactionary is a political label first and foremost and using it in this context tries to equate not-cryptocurrency-advocates to political reactionaries at large. Also, you've contributed to various cryptocurrency repositories, so trying to claim you're not some kind of cryptocurrency advocate/shill/memer or invested in it (pick whichever you like best) might take some convincing.

You put a large emphasis on the idea that I have invested in cryptocurrencies and that I'm hence arguing for that.

But even if I had, wouldn't you equally be a shill for having invested in companies that merely exist for the sake of cryptographic functionality? Do you think any FAANG would be able to exist without cryptography? Do you hold any kind of stock? Because if so, your incentives aren't likely more inspiring than mine.
