 Most in the “spotlight” always have been and the rest definitely are, were, and will be irrelevant. The circle jerking has deluded many nostr:note1kteuqurtg2f52adxlkl4q7hlyk0mu2h774gfz5kse38rc7tjl60sfd0ee3 
 Maybe irrelevant to you, but we are influenced by the deeds and words of others. Totally normal part of how we grow.

The problem is hero worship and thinking people are flawless. We're all humans who fuck up, but we can still learn from one another.  
 I am talking in the macro scale. John Doe down the street is relevant to his family and the people in his work/community. But he is clearly mot relevant to the country or culturally.

Same goes to bitcoiners. Very few are actually relevant to the world/culture at large and that’s fine. 
 I care less about the macro. I'm working on being a better person so I can help those around me, but I'm always humbled when I meet someone at a bitcoin event who was inspired by something I said publicly.
