It is pretty obvious that the crypto community tends to glorify public figures because they are always looking for validation and opportunities to make quick profits. When someone famous like Elon Musk or Trump mentions crypto, people get excited, hoping it will make the market go up or bring more mainstream attention. Since crypto does not have a single leader these figures often become symbols of hope for the community. Social media adds fuel to the fire, making everything they say seem more important than it might be.
