Iran claimed to have elected a new leader on 3/9 local time, but a closer look reveals that the rise of this new leader is nothing more than a path worn by the heavy wheels of Iran's historical vehicles.
Looking back 55 years ago, Iran was a super open country. The Pahlavi dynasty at that time could be described as 'extravagantly luxurious', and even hosted a party certified as 'the most expensive in history' by the Guinness World Records. Later, Iran successfully overthrew the old dynasty by embracing a theocratic system that proudly upheld 'the rejection of hereditary rule.'
History is always full of irony.
The newly ascended leader Mujtaba, before taking office, experienced loud proclamations, but ultimately he is just a mid-level cleric, holding the title of 'Hujjat al-Islam.'
What concept is this? Let's take a look at the promotion hierarchy of theologians:
🔹 Mullah ➡️ Ulema ➡️ Hojaat al-Islam ➡️ Ayatollah ➡️ Grand Ayatollah ➡️ Marja
If corresponding to ordinary government agencies, it would roughly be:
🔹 Clerk ➡️ Section Chief ➡️ Director ➡️ Department-level Official ➡️ National Core Leader ➡️ Highest Religious Leader
From a small 'Director' directly jumping three levels up, becoming the highest religious leader!
Besides being a son, is there any other identity?
Just ask the theologians who have firmly believed in 'anti hereditary' for the past 50 years, do they agree with this?
To put it bluntly, there is nothing new under the sun. The great wheel of Iran's history has turned a full circle. The once anti-hereditary has now reverted back to hereditary.
🔄 Pulling the perspective back to the crypto world, it is actually the same.
What is the historical trail of the crypto world?
Issue coins ➡️ Marketing and speculation ➡️ Harvest
This is the fate cycle of countless projects and altcoins.
In this market, new coins come and go, project teams play with token unlocking, airdrop expectations, and various staking activities every day. It seems vibrant, but in reality, it is just a repetition of the same script.
Perhaps, only $BTC is the true 'Marja' in the crypto world. No matter how various new public chains and popular concept coins struggle, they ultimately cannot compare to Bitcoin, which has withstood the test of time and truly established a consensus position.
The wheel of history rolls forward. In your heart, besides Bitcoin, what else is your 'Marja'?
