Just like Ordinals (probably how Tether works). The influencers, like #NatalieBrunell and #PeterMcCormack, believed what they were told, much of which was true in the beginning (p2p, decentralized, change the world, etc), and did a great job of spreading that info and teaching us all about the virtues of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, in the Bitcoin Only world, people are blind to all of the amazing other projects that are out there, whether they are money related or technology related.
I mention Ordinals, because 1. It was not (publicly) anticipated. 2. A miner deliberately put it in a block (is thisdecentralization?). This indicates to me that Bitcoin is not really functioning as a currency, but as a toy. It's extremely strange to me that Bitcoin (Coke) is doing it's best to be more like Ethereum (Pepsi).
