Why does the crypto community seem so pliable and immediately start glorifying public figures, only if he mentions Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies?
One of the most respected examples, Elon Musk, gave public support to Dogecoin, and the final impression was that he only manipulated, made additional income and possibly promoted his brands.
We have had a slight euphoria about Trump for some time now. I don't want to go into how much weight his words have, but it is remarkable how much the crypto community interprets everything he says, and various discussions about what he will do regarding crypto in the future. Meme coins with his image and name are being created, I even saw signatures in support of Trump on the Bitcointalk forum. I will not even talk about spam on social networks.
Isn't that quite an exaggeration?
Why is the crypto community so susceptible to manipulation?
The reason why many crypto enthusiast goes euphoria about some notable figure on the crypto space, like Elon musk is because a lot of them, especially on social networks want to be wealthy. Elon musk is a billionaire and so many people want to identity with such person, probability, because they may also be like him.
As you may know, there are people who also want to identity with the wealthy people in the society, and at such situations, they fill that once they get closer with the rich, they may get some form of help that will also make them rich.
I think the world is a funny place, it very obvious that some people even want to be followers of the rich people for a name sake.
