What's the reason crypto community members tend to worship certain indivudals?
I've always found this one a bit strange, when you consider the nature of crypto.
Most crypto holders can agree on decentralisation, power to the people, F the banks and some even argue for lack of regulation in spite of scams.
So isn't it ironic that when you look at many of the top coins, many of those 'communities' tend to idolise 1 or even 2 people? Not to even go looking into shitcoins where the fantasy can get even worse sometimes (Look at HEX worshipping their number 1 scammer Richard Heart like a God, it's bizarre).
I'm going to list a few top examples, and if this touches a nerve with you well maybe you're in my example:
- Cardano community members idolising Charles Hoskinson
- Dogecoin and Elon Musk
- Eth and Vitalik
- AlgoNauts jumping to the defence of their Foundation every single time someone questions the dumping
- In the past, Luna ("Lunatics community) and Do Kwon
- Heck, even head over to Bitcoin sub and you will see not 1 but 2 individuals being worshipped, Saylor gets more mentions than Satoshi these days and weirdly gets praised for being a genius all the time (because he buys BTC and shills it? lol)
I know what some of y'all might probably reply, "Of course the creator gets worshipped!". But to me it's very weird to see an entire community of grown men worship another dude as if he's a celebrity, in a space where everyone raves about decentralisation but once you see something gets small criticism an army of these supporters come to the rescue of their hero or rich billionaire.
What do you guys think?
