Considering recent incidents on Mozilla and Ubisoft, why do people hate cryptocurrency so much?

Because they've been told to hate it. Why does anyone ever hate anything that's never done them any harm?

They've been told to hate it because even if the first implementation is hot garbage, the later ones promise to be untaxable, unseizable, and invisible. If you're in the business of taxing, seizing, and spying, that's just bad.

I completely understand the urge to do so, but you shouldn't assume that all of your detractors are dupes who have "been told" to hate whatever and simply accept that uncritically if what you're after is a good faith discussion. That may be true for some people, but it's not likely to be the whole story.
