I don't believe it is [merit based] success or simple ego, though ego plays into it. To me the more UHNWI people are with cantillionaire connections and benefits from its effects, the less likely they are to see Bitcoin as worth pursuing from a speculative consideration (in the past, not enough liquidity), and they most assuredly haven't done the work to fundamentally understand how it works and why it can't be replaced. Even Michael Saylor took several years to change his position on Bitcoin. The ability to reassess and change one's position once they have new data, and even the pursuit to understand vs accept simple bullet points handed to them at face value is a key attribute of merit based leaders vs appointed management of the ruling class.

It’s true. The biggest impediment to understanding Monero is not intelligence. It’s ego. You have to re-assess something you previously dismissed. You have to buy in late compared to what you could have done earlier, and accept that. You have to embrace the fact that you are but a tiny node on a network that nobody controls. View quoted note →

I think you should be more generous towards Trump. If Kamala Harris comes to power, the USA will continue the same path Venezuela took 23 years ago. This will be soul crushing for people like you. It will be soul crushing for everybody because that is what marxism does to people. So Please be more openly supportive of Trump. #OrangeManGood
Ego is when maxis scream how much Bitcoin they own and how much they have earned and can buy their lambo. Those are the ones who don't understand Bitcoin. The bankers do understand it, that's why they are co-opting it with their financial products.

The humility to understand: Bitcoin scales through custodial solutions, offers no privacy and Bitcoiners are building exactly what they are afraid of: The CBDC.
