i think a lot of it is the appeal of the gamble: big risk but big reward. getting a higher education is a slog; it's also one of the "scripts" that people had been taught in the past but now feel like they don't deliver

I think that *is* how it cashes out at the elite levels though because at that class position you simply have a wider awareness of the world. that's why crypto (on the bagholding side, rather than on the "generating" side) is largely a phenomenon of the lower-middle and working class
sure, I'm not disputing that, it's more that I think there are large-scale societal forces that explain this shift, rather than some essential male nature
