Mad because :
1. They can't afford bitcoin.
2. Too late to the trend, they are jelous of peoples who get into the trend long before them so that those peoples earn more than them.
3. They want to make peoples leave bitcoin and chose other digital currency which they have bought with the intention to raise its value, greed are disgusting when are too much that you do anything to get what you want.

Sure, people miss the boat, then they hope for Bitcoin to crash in order to console themselves. But that's not everyone. Bitcoin has significant scalability and privacy issues that are worth criticizing and improving upon. But more than that, I think that speculative greed has driven the hubris and toxicity that is now so characteristic of the Bitcoin community.
As an anarchist, I had a lot of dreams for Bitcoin when I first got involved almost five years ago. I really didn't think it would look like this. For a moment, I thought we were building a revolution. People mostly only care about getting rich now. And now I'm left wondering, if Bitcoin is mainly good for redistributing wealth (from holders of weak money to holders of sound money), is that wealth transfer even a net good for the world? Or just those of us who are rich now? I don't have an answer. But in reality, the higher the price rises, the less interesting Bitcoin becomes to me.
To put a finer point on it, I don't think that Amir Taaki was "just mad" when he said this yesterday:
Quote from: Amir Taaki
Bitcoin is turning into a failed project. The seeds of its destruction among the debris of a community blinded by numerical price increases, and imminent divine reclamation. One day you will all understand my words but it will be too late, the ship would have sailed.
Quote from: Amir Taaki
Don't worry the price will keep going up. You're going to be mega rich but that still won't fill the empty hole in your heart.
Amir Taaki!
It's true. We only care about acquiring our Lambos and P-Diddy style shrimping vessels now.
