Let me give you an example of a revolution. Some people join a revolution and persist through thick and thin because of their beliefs, while others are opportunists. These are still the action-takers, personally involved in the revolution—you could think of them as the technical contributors. Then there are those who support the revolution with money. Some hedge their bets across multiple fronts, while others go all-in on a single bet. Going all-in is usually because they believe in the revolutionary agenda or trust a specific individual, like Sun Yat-sen. Most people are driven by self-interest, while only a few are willing to sacrifice everything for the revolution. Satoshi Nakamoto is an idealist, and so is Vitalik Buterin. What they want is to realize their ideals—price is just a byproduct. Bitcoin has many idealists, and Ethereum has quite a few as well. But idealism and price aren’t strongly correlated; price is tied to market supply and demand. Especially since most people are profit-driven, it’s the potential to make money that attracts people to join—not ideals. So, whether something is idealistic or not doesn’t really matter. Building a movement isn’t just about shouting slogans. The masses need to see tangible benefits or at least potential benefits before they’ll support you.
