It’s also that he was naive enough to put himself out there as a kind of figurehead of sorts of the crypto movement. So the others were probably like “ok if you insist…”

He was also surfing high on his messiah complex with a kind of 2020’s version of white man burden which the public was enamoured with.

Can u comment more on this "white man's burden" that was prevalent in 2020 as you describe it?

I meant 2020’s as a decade, and the concept is Effective Altruism, the idea that a bunch of geeks sitting in a gaming chair behind a computer screen know better what to do with charity money than the people actually doing it on the real world.
