I don't really know how you misunderstood his post in order to correct you, but I'll try.

He's saying crypto nerds like cryptography and crypto bros are cryptocurrency shills.

Ah, I see. The confusion happened because crypto nerd absolutely does not mean that to the casual public anymore, as bemoaned in the parent comment, and I didn't realize he was insisting there is still a distinction.

I really don't have a leg to stand on with that topic because I always put "libertarian" in scare quotes.

The thing is, however, that a lot of the crypto nerds are also crypto bros. Or at least, they're who the crypto bros were trying to be, the guys who were mining Bitcoin when it was worth $0.13, but those two people sound exactly alike on the Internet on their shared interest because they're both trying to sell you the coins.
