Kill your heroes is what Bitcion needs 🙂
Satoshi did it for us, but we need to work hard on ourselves to avoid being star struck or stylizing others as some sort of untouchable experts, because that is the beginning of the end and we do want to keep the bitcoin spirit.
All heroes, experts, visionaries, you name it... are humans too and make mistakes.
If we want a better world, we need to respect each other and discuss content based on merit, sharing pros/cons. Satoshi knew this and stayed anonymous.
If we want Bitcoin to succeed, we should all avoid making this about people, tribalism and cults around chosen or enlightened folks.
This is usually most difficult for those privileged or fortunate enough to be experts and grew used to it.
If we want Bitcoin to succeed, the attitude we need is to be humble and empower humble experts who engage with the community and disarm criticism by sharing facts and arguments and not by hiding away ignorantly and/or arrogantly - this will only worsen the problem.
