Whats interesting to me about the verbiage in this statement is how I think it relates to mythology.
If we look at the digital realm as a new world and superimpose the Norse or Greek pantheon on top of it, we can follow a generational storyline that was laid out as the foundation of the cosmos in antiquity.
The first digital generation were the titans who shaped the initial world and embedded themselves as the very forces of nature within the structures of reality (the arbiters of truth). While not malevolent, their purposes were small in overall vision and merely self serving.
The next generation would be what the ancient pantheons called the Gods. Born into existing structures, they reshaped the world and introduced order with benevolent intent, along with many flaws, and created a system of eternal rule.
The offspring of the gods would then become the heroes you're referring to Hodl. Great deeds done in tribute to, and in defiance of the gods, that bring great boons and terrible consequences like the stealing of fire and the opening of Pandora's box.
We here have all heard the analogy of bitcoin as the fire in cyberspace and I think it's pretty safe to call Satoshi a hero for taking digital scarcity from an arbiter of truth and releasing it to the world of the small, inconsequential, individuals that go about their days without the lofty aims of great deeds done in service to higher purposes.
