One such distraction is all the social media influencers who claim to be Bitcoiners. They are eager to shill companies whose services only serve to separate you from your keys/coins. And they often say things that are counterproductive to the adoption of Bitcoin (e.g. S2F).

The Bitcoin influencer scene is undoubtedly some sort of informal pyramid/MLM scheme. They usually interview each other on their podcasts, to give each other exposure to each-other's audiences. Hopefully it will all be wiped out during the upcoming global depression.
