"When I find a whole bunch of people creating new heroes that are just faster centralization, and talk about those leaders as saving their lives through a different from of centralization, it feels like the same old trick being done over and over again". - Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe) at the following podcast 44m:02s.
This was an awesome podcast at the great walker (npub1cj8…rz4u) Bitcoin podcast:

I absolutely whole-heartedly agree with Jeff Booth and think this aspect is truly absolutely fundamental. It seems like we are hard wired for sociability (belonging to the tribe) and that in the extreme leads to the cult of personality. This is not good at all as we've seen countless times in history. Truth should be above any individual.
I think this is also what Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9) was alluding with the idea of "cast a vote but don't join a cult" at the BitcoinMagazine (npub1t8a…56yu) conference a few months ago.
While it's phenomenal to see the change that is happening in the US, simultaneously I think it's just a bit better.
Elon Musk wouldn't be Elon Musk without large hordes of government money . That's just a fact. And etc, etc, etc with many people in that camp. But sure, there's no denying this is a positive advance in the global liberty field.
Bitcoin is the greatest free market that ever came in to this world.
We need better leaders BUT most of all we need better systems. Bitcoin is one of the most important better systems we have.
We still live in an 99% extractive economy. The goal is to live in a truly productive and free economy.
