There is already a cult, and it's pretty active here, people with zero understanding of the economy claiming that a total collapse of the world economy is good for bitcoin and bitcoin will save us from everything. There are a lot who think that in a post-apocalyptic scenario bitcoin will survive and it will be the seen from which a new better and healthier society will sprout. But it's not about just about bitcoin, everything that threatens the current system is worshipped by those that don't agree with it, it happens like this numerous times in history, some people that were fed up with the current way of life saw in any opportunity a chance of turning the world in the place they like and get rid of the things they don't.

This is called accelerationism, the idea that society needs to collapse in order for the new order to be built. The idea isn't exclusive to any movement, and it isn't new either. In nazi Germany many communists refused to oppose Hitler as he was coming to power, because they thought they will replace him after he fails.

Being "Bitcoin Jesus" in the thick of a societal collapse is NOT. Bitcoin CANNOT save us from stupidity!

Right, it's pretty distasteful to chime in with something so completely unrelated to the topic of the protests. Bitcoin can't solve police brutality or racism.
