A Deity’s Power Comes from Its Believers In Japan’s Shinto, there are the “eight million kami”: mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees can all become gods. Yet these spirits are not born omnipotent—their divine might often depends on how frequently people perform rites and how devoutly they do so. The more visits, the deeper the reverence, the more one can “nurture” a powerful deity. Similar ideas abound in Celtic lore: the worlds of gods and mortals permeate each other, and divine power is sustained by praise, ritual, and memory.

This setup doesn’t exist only in ancient imagination; it is a mirror of real life. A brand’s moat is often not its technical metrics per se, but the trust and emotional projection accumulated from consumers over years. The strength of a social movement does not stem solely from the charisma of its leaders, but from the collective force created by the shared value narrative of millions. A creator’s influence is not determined purely by the objective quality of their work, but by the “resonance circuit” that a community continuously spreads, repeats, and defends. As more and more people stake their attention, time, and even part of their identity on a given symbol, that symbol grows a power beyond any individual—a “divine force” that can, in turn, shape people.

In the crypto world, phrases like the “BTC cult” or “ETH cult” appear frequently. At first, they mostly carried a mocking tone, treating adherents as blind “believers.” Yet it is precisely this quasi-religious conviction that has allowed BTC and ETH to repeatedly cross the quagmire of deep bear markets, regulatory uncertainty, technical controversy, and storms of public opinion. Viewed coolly, this is not a denial of rational thinking; on the contrary, it shows that in a highly uncertain, still-maturing frontier, consensus itself is the scarcest resource—and faith is the most stable vessel for that consensus. We pour a part of ourselves into a symbol, and it, in turn, molds us in its image. In times of uncertainty, faith is the tool that pulls the future from imagination into reality. What we believe in is what we become.
