"Bitcoin is powered by a shared belief in its value."
The nuance in this is that its value also includes a financial incentive - the MLM structure inherent to Bitcoin, and that is truly what aligns everyone in Bitcoin - it's not for whatever other positives may exist as the primary glue, arguably 99%+ is the financial gain and potential that is the glue.
But yes, pro-Bitcoiners have been good at refining their narrative, the propaganda, conveniently ignoring the MLM structure whenever writing prose of how amazing Bitcoin is - while avoiding answering questions related to its pitfalls like with Bitcoin how do you implement policy and mechanisms like the Magnisky Act to block money of known bad actors as an economic punishment and attempt to sway their bad actions - before needing to perhaps (hopefully not) escalate actions into the physical, destruction-violence mechanism?
