2018 October 22, Nick Paumgarten, The Prophets of Cryptocurrency Survey the Boom and Bust[1], issue:
He likes to cite Lambos—as in Lamborghini, the cryptobro trophy ride of choice—as shorthand for the excessive trappings of wealth, which do not interest him.
2019, John Hargrave, Blockchain for Everyone: How I Learned the Secrets of the New Millionaire Class (And You Can, Too), page 297:
"When it comes to blockchain, never invest more than you can afford to lose. One hundred percent. High-risk gambling, day trading, speculating—that's the way of the crypto bros."
2021, Michael Mechanic, Jackpot: How the Super-Rich Really Live—and How Their Wealth Harms Us All[2], unnumbered page:
Crypto bros defend the imbalance by noting that women are more risk-averse than men.
