I’m not sure. But from an evolutionary perspective it may make sense to have diversity in the population. Some brothers want to travel. Some stay. Some comply with authority. Some seek sovereignty. This allows the population adapts to current circumstances.

This model matches well with the observation that it is single individuals rather than groups of friends that are open to bitcoin.

For me personally. I don’t know. Will have to inquire further

Interesting ideas. It will be interesting to see research on the types who were early into Bitcoin. I feel it might have more to do with being capable of understanding the problem, and being a type who asks questions. This requires a certain degree of persistance. These are also qualities that Satoshi had. Once you understand the problem Bitcoin tries to solve, it becomes difficult to shove away Bitcoin as a concept. I think that's more relevant than rebellious genes, culture, environment. It also explains why there are so many spart people in the space (much smarter than I am). Yes, to sum up, I think people who were early attracted to Bitcoin in general were types who often asked questions, and had the intelligence and persistence to solve them. Then it might have been somewhat of an coincidence if they had been exposed to the question of what's wrong with our monetary system.
