Bitcoin Forum

I have often times found myself in the midst of persons who have titles of a leadership position, in a place of worship, online, school, work, but care too little to show up or act accordingly when needed.  
A leader is supposed to be matured enough to be responsible for himself and others around. If one who claims to be a leader fails in this aspect, he or she is either delegating the most important task to others or avoiding them, rather than leading by example.
As regards this forum, Bitcointalk, it stems from the excellence of Nakamoto Satoshi's whitepaper of Bitcoin and is the one knowledge and wisdom that is responsible for the workflow and other services herein.
In recent times due to economic downturns and people losing their jobs, those who have become familiar with Bitcoin somehow found it a haven of sort, because they made profits or learnt how to and are loving it everyday.

 A good leader would develop others around him/her, who are lacking financially by teaching them financial knowledge, also academically or otherwise, rather than watch these persons wallow in poverty and penury, fail abysmally in exams or test or even pick up harmful habits that drain cash like smoking, gambling, womanizing and other vices that one might pick up when in the wrong company of persons.
A good leader would always be earlier than everyone and more updated and current than others.

For me CEO of Bitcoin, Dennis Jarvis and his team has proven over time that he is a true leader with great vision of economic freedom, which is a result of  breakthrough in cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology, as well as web3 wallet, news, exchange, games and other products they have and are developing, that the world and I benefit from.

What other qualities would a leader possess to make you follow them?
Does ones interest define the kind of leader he/she should follow?

 A leader needs to have commitment and honesty. These are the two qualities I am looking for a leader. Many people could have that charisma and promises. It is also normal to have flaws as a leader but only a few would be committed with what they are doing and other qualities would work out or follow afterwards. As you've mentioned about tough times, a leader should have aids with every problem a country perhaps, is having. In terms of economic progress, a leader should also be open for new things which could generate wealth for the country and not merely for personal growth alone which is why I have mentioned about honesty. Power is necessary but also usually abused.

For me a good leader has the following characteristics:

• Vision
• Emotional Intelligence
• Decisiveness
• Adaptability
• Communication
• Self-awareness
• Empathy
• Mentorship
• Empowerment
• Responsibility
• Charismatic

and most of all

• God fearing
  
  I believe a leader must have this characteristics, it might not make the leader perfect but at least he has the characteristic to bond people together.

I believe a good leader must be resilient so that he can bounce back from setbacks and failures and be able to uplift his team in downtime.  he must be a good listener so that he can be able to know his fellow's thoughts and suggestions effectively.  A good leader is also capable of effectively delegating tasks to his member and has a creative mind.  A good leader also has strategic thinking making his team engage with different tasks effectively, able to plan for the long-term success of the team and be able to identify opportunities and anticipate future trends.

We find very few leaders these days - to me Bill gate - Musk - Steve jobs are great name and they are great leader to follow
But with the passage of time these great names are vanishing and people are making their own set standard and vision

The three leaders that you mentioned really need not be doubted and this is evident from their companies which have continued to grow to this day,
something like that is certainly not easy and only certain people can do it,
for me it's not a bad thing to set standards and visions yourself as long as they can be held accountable.

For me a leader must have strong idealsm where one can sort out the pros and cons of a system/rules used, honesty and commitment are not enough to be a leader because the most important thing is the courage, attitude and mental strength to make decisions. because every decision and step has its own risks, basically things that are not at stake are not worth winning.

 Leadership comes with responsibilities. And for one to be an effective leader, he first has to be a good follower. Of course, like @Yatsan noted, two important traits a leader must possess is honesty and commitment but then it goes beyond that. He has to also be a good decision maker, a motivator and should be one with integrity.  
 Taking the leadership case of China before they became a world power is something I'd characterize as leadership with an economic vision since before Deng Xiaoping,  China's economy was not on the world map as they were seen as third world countries alongside India.

A leader will not stop you from gambling, smoking or womanizing because those are character or habit only you choose by yourself and will stop it in due time. What a leader can do in this regard is to put measures that will make it difficult for the person to exhibit those habits freely. Such measures include to monitor the environment with the security etc and if he is able to do this, the people can be more productive and contribute to the economic vision of the country.

I don't know anything about the CEO of the bitcoin.com but I know that they think bitcoin cash is the real bitcoin. They probably don't push this as hard as they used to anymore but you still see bch articles along with bitcoin on bitcoin.com.

Why don't they abandon this failed project and get united in bitcoin once again? Roger is not the CEO anymore so there shouldn't be any problems with this.

If this guy you mentioned is as great as you say, he should abandon bch and make bitcoin.com great again.

It is a habit that is usually formed by the environment. Changing financial conditions for the better actually depends on the individual's own will, anyone can learn something and start something without first having certain academic education, especially in today's very accessible information age. Make the government only a supporter, not a determining element.

A leader should think about the welfare of his team members and is aware of how his choices may affect them. He ought to be able to interact with clients, investors, and workers effectively. Think about how he may contribute to the success of his team or organization in the long run by inspiring and motivating people to work toward their goals.

Not everyone is able to follow in their footsteps in this world, so some people only see them as motivation and also as proof that they can be successful just by continuing to work and focusing on what they are developing. Because they also don't teach everyone to succeed like they have done in this world, so it won't be a problem for them when their name starts to disappear by itself. But I'm sure the names of people like them will not just disappear in this world.

Accountability, a good leader should be able to give account on everything about his team or country,which was entrusted to him for transparency to his followers at any given time. Leaders should also be humble and accept their mistakes and not putting yourself above all.

He should also give the followers listening ears for decisions on how to pilot the affairs of the team so that he will welcome new ideas on how to make progress in the task at hand. A good leader shouldn't be ignorant to embrace new innovation that will be beneficial to his followers because he will put his followers first before himself.

Basically, I don't agree with some parts of what you said about a leader, because even a leader has the economic vision to help people and guide them and they won't have any economic issues what's still hard to say this will safe and sound because one person cannot have an aspect of vision every side so I think the best is to let everyone say they think about economics situation. One example can be a family, in a family usually, the woman of the family is responsible for economic stuff and got the economic vision, while even she can make mistakes so maybe It's better to have discussions with other members regarding economic stuff.

My full backing is behind you. The behaviors of a leader are always on display, and followers can tell if that leader is worth following or not. To me, a leader needs to be kind, always willing to provide a hand to those who are struggling monetarily or academically. A leader should have a solid education in addition to their extensive market experience and awareness of the latest developments.

True pioneers in the realm of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, I think that Dennis Jarvis and the Bitcoin team deserve credit for their work. Many individuals, including myself, have benefited from their news platform and web3 wallet, among other products and services, and they represent an uplifting aspiration for financial autonomy.


It's also important to keep in mind that everyone has various interests and goals, so a leader who appeals to one individual may not be the ideal choice for another. I believe it's critical that each person evaluates the traits they value in a leader for themselves and looks for individuals who share those beliefs.

Thanks for the vote of confidence @Slapper. 
Also, this point makes absolute sense, as only then can one identify who his/her leader is.
No matter how far one has gone in life, someone at some point was instrumental in pushing or giving the nudge that one required to move up. While we may not really call the person a leader, whatever principles we adopted or hoped to learn for our betterment from such person, made that person sort of a leader.
It depends on what qualities or vision we see in the person we hold in esteem as a leader, and if our interests do align. So I gathered.

When referring to a good a leader they have their own roles to play while you have your own roles to play as well.
This made me flash back those days while in school, you must not wait for someone to pose himself as a good leader before you will learn from him same quality he has same you too have but the ability for you to showcase the mantleship in you that makes you a true leader.
Everyone is a leader if you set to use about 75 percent of your brain to think about something different between you and others is what makes you a quality leader. Although lot of qualities have been listed already, but this from my own aspect of view.

In this case the leader cannot work alone to take care of all the needs of his community, which means a leader must be able to influence other people to do what he previously planned to achieve the vision and mission that has been made.
The important point in a leader, in my opinion, is that he is able to influence other people's thoughts with his thoughts.
Maybe when talking about character it will be very difficult because indeed humans have flaws and nothing is perfect but as long as a leader is smart, honest, trustworthy and brave, I think it's enough for me to feel calm being led by someone like that.

Yes, everyone has their own leader criteria because it is based on what he wants and what he feels with the previous leader so that he will conclude which leader he thinks is good.

I have always assumed that the leader is the person who communicates directly with his team. Calling leaders popular people who are far from you, in my opinion, is somewhat untrue. How can the CEO help the OP develop? And even more so, to prevent the OP from plunging into bad habits and stuff? These people you look up to can be called your "ideals" or "idols." And you must maintain contact with the leaders; they can listen to you and be very social and confident, leading forward by setting a positive example.
We ourselves choose our leaders, and it must be admitted that leaders can not always lead to the right paths. Take teenagers, for example. They are very easy to manipulate due to their youth and inexperience, so you always need to keep your finger on the pulse so as not to fall for the bait of experienced manipulators who claim leadership.

Having a guide or mentor who has influenced our thoughts and actions is crucial. Although they may not hold official positions of authority, the guidance and input of these people is often vital.

Recognizing that our interests play a role in influencing the leaders we choose to follow is equally important. For instance, a follower who is passionate about environmental issues may look up to a leader who is working hard to find answers to the problem of climate change. In a similar vein, anyone curious about cryptocurrencies might seek advice from an established expert in the field (or on Bitcointalk).

A leader does not have to be perfect, and we should be willing to grow and change with them at all times. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my message and add to this fantastic conversation.

A leader must show how he can carry out a project and work on every plan that has been prepared to achieve his target. A leader must be responsible for ensuring that his plan goes well by always communicating it with everyone on his team. And this is not easy because he also has to listen to every suggestion and criticism from all parties and lower his ego so he can see the suggestions and criticisms as things that can help him develop his project.

A good leader must also be humble and firm because later, there will be a lot of conflict over an idea that arises from other team members so he must be able to decide what is best for his project. Maybe a leader must have many more types or criteria because this relates to many things in one project.

For someone of the Christian faith, being God fearing is a great characteristic in person, I must point out that it is not a characteristic of being a good leader. I don’t know why people feel the need to bring in religion when religion isn’t needed.

You mentioned some good qualities a leader should have. You then went ahead and insinuated that people that don’t believe in God can’t be a good leader cause they lack the most vital characteristic a good leader should have. Being God fearing.  That’s laughable and in a way sad.

Leader in what? In convincing people that some fork coin out there is the real Bitcoin? Well, I don't believe in anything that comes from that website and from those people, and the only thing that has value in all of this is the domain, which unfortunately fell into the wrong hands, which should never have happened.

What I don't understand is that even on this forum, people who should understand how dangerous centralization is, still have the need to look for leaders who will lead them somewhere. What is even sadder in the whole story, they measure the value of a leader by how much money he has, so everyone is crazy about Mr. Mars because he is the richest man in the world with hundreds of billions, while they, as his followers, think about how they will feed their family next week.

For me, what sets a regular "Boss" from a "True Leader" is how he sees growth. A boss will see growth in numbers, be it profits, be it performance, or anything else that is countable and can be calculated through metrics and such. A true leader will go beyond this and see growth as progress. He'd appreciate how far his enterprise and his employees have gone to, and would do anything in his power to maintain this kind of drive within the company. But if you wouldn't mind me asking, who the hell is Dennis Jarvis? I see that he's affiliated in some way to bitcoin but as far as I know and correct me if I'm wrong with this, bitcoin doesn't have a central organization that leads its choices and paths. 

The era of selfless leadership has ended because everyone leading an organization or a nation is doing so because of personal interest or gains. When last did we see leaders reducing the expenses or earnings of board members or top politicians because they want to increase the earning of workers or the common men. In my country the legislatures,  judiciary and executive increase thier salaries annually but workers salaries have not been reviewed for many years. Thier main focus is to keep getting richer regardless of the effect on the populace.

The most annoying part of this issue is that people now choose thier leaders not based on sound or acceptable character but by thier financial strength. Everything a wealthy individual does now is correct because he is wealthy. The society now celebrate money, while acceptable virtues like selflessness, integrity, contentment, modesty, and uprightness have been thrown  in the bin.

For me a a good leader is that person that treats those he is leading the way he wants others to treat him. He is that person that behaves in a manner that would not negatively affect the lives of people he is leading.

The capitalist mindset is now ingrained in every line of society, so today it's not strange if someone thinks that a great leader must have strong wealth, people choose leaders today it depends on what benefits he gets when choosing a leader, no look at the moral points and character of the leader. The points you mentioned about the criteria for a leader seem to be just bedtime stories now.

I also have the criteria for the leader of my hope, a leader who advances the economy for the welfare of his people and is able to act or behave according to the circumstances and situation and with whom he speaks.

Unfortunately, not everyone in a leadership position is necessarily a successful leader. Leadership requires very special skills and qualities that are not available to everyone, just as not all people can work within a team or have the ability to influence others.
In general, the successful leader can be known by his ability to create events and not wait for them to happen and then builds his plan on them. Therefore, the successful leader is the person who can make a decision quickly and does not hesitate to choose the exact time to implement it.

Yeah bud and that is why each leader has an expiration. I think it was 3 years for the presidential position. So even if they fail at their duties, people shouldn't worry as they will still be replaced by a new leader which we hope better this time but that will also depend on our hands. We should vote sincerely and not only because we are being bribed as those who do it are usually corrupt.

A leader must create or start an event because for what they are called a leader if they will wait for someone to do it from them? They can choose a time which can be longer, so that they won't pressure themselves and assure that the project will become more successful.

Two theories of leadership just crept into my mind; trait and a great man's theories of leadership. The great man's theory believes that leaders are born and not made. They lay more emphasis on physical appearance, intelligence, and charisma in the process of choosing a leader. But the trait theory believes that leaders are made and not born. They state that people acquire leadership skills or behavior through training or experience.

I believe in the trait theory of leadership. A good leader must first be a good follower. This would help him understand the feelings of the people he is leading because he has the experience of followership. A leader must be firm but fair. He should treat his followers the way he wants to be treated. A good leader must also lead by example. He must abide by the rules of the organization so that he would have the authority to punish offenders.

This looks like somebody searched for Bitcoin and CEO, found the bitcoin(dot)com wiki page, and thought that Dennis Jarvis is some kind of inspirational model that has done so much for the community and never actually checked how much damage Bitcoin.com has done, especially to Bitcoin! The level of research that has led to proclaiming this guy a true leader with economic vision is the reason why we are destined to be led everywhere by someone who should never be in that position. And the amount of clapping for him, god!!!!!

Who is another true leader? Roger Ver? Oh wait, he wasn't a leader, he was called "Bitcoin Jesus".
But wait, we have another one, Craig Wright, why not cheer for him guys when you're cheering for the guys behind bitcoin cash, bitcoin SV, the same thing?


Give one example of products or "breakthroughs" bitcoin.com has developed that were so helpful for BTC and beneficial for the world!
Make sure they are enough to compensate for the fork war and the damage caused then, especially the mempool spam attack they've launched!
We have like dozens of guys who have actively worked and promoted bitcoin, the real one, and somehow you had to stumble upon this guy!


You've been around long enough to know their platform "helped" a lot of people buy Bitcoin cash instead of Bitcoin since they were tricking users by using "Bitcoin core" for Bitcoin and listing Bitcoin Cash as the first option with the same icon. Quite the ave inspiring tactic, isn't it?

@stompix, the OP is not the only one who has that opinion, because there are many who promote that site on this forum and through social networks just because of the domain name. People simply live in the delusion that everything with the name bitcoin in its name is good and positive, but those of us who have been with Bitcoin for a little longer than 1 or 2 years remember well the attack on Bitcoin orchestrated precisely with the help of those people. Bitcoin Jesuses turned into Bitcoin Jews overnight, and will remain so for the rest of their lives, regardless of whether they have ever done anything good for the Bitcoin community or will ever do it in the future.

However, I am optimistic and hope that the OP has learned something from all the posts he can read in this thread.

Leadership quality is a gift not every people have leadership quality not all people can manage team, who have leadership quality can  influence people easily. who have ability to influence other this people can motivate anyone who already lose hope. Even the economic of any country is highly dependent on good leadership. This is particularly so because the core values of a nation are directly linked to equality and equal distribution of resource. A good leader should have integrity, respect, empathy and gratitude.

I agree that a leader should be responsible, mature, and lead by example. It's important for leaders to develop those around them by teaching them valuable skills and knowledge. In addition to financial education, a good leader should also promote personal growth and well-being by discouraging harmful habits.

In terms of other qualities that a leader should possess, I think it's important for them to have a clear vision and the ability to communicate it effectively. They should be able to inspire and motivate others towards a common goal. A good leader should also be empathetic, able to understand and relate to the people they lead, and be open to feedback and suggestions.

Who are those that we so called a true leaders, are they the ones that only us benefited from them because of their influence on our lives or what other public sees as a good trait of a true leaders, i said this because sometimes we don't say the truth of a matter as it is because we are one of the beneficiaries to that bad act at other's expense, we shouldn't cover up for any bad political agenda but rather join hands in support for those who have other's interest in mind and are ready to serve and not to be served.

What I see in the leader is its base qualities such as Intelligence, Vision, Confidence, Loyalty, and integrity. These are a few Qualities common in leadership according to our historical movement and Culture on the globe there many great leaders which we admire. Today's concern is about our financial sector and economy I think there is nothing a leader can do here because this whole system is shady and is created for self-interest. Some of the corrupt so-called leaders can be blamed for it. For the economic vision, I think we need a few revolutions such as;

A True leader with economic vision should possess a strategic thinking that should be able to think ahead and anticipate the future economic trends and challenges. He should be also decisive to be able to make tough decision quickly and confidently. Possess a clear vision for the future of the economy. A true leader should have a moral compass and act in the best interest of the economy and its people. Being a leader they should always think the best interest of the their employees because this employees are the ones who's doing the dirty jobs for the company and they need to be given priorities.

For me, a leader must be selfless, if you are not ready to serve people there is no way you will end up being a good leader, most people now want to be served and become  taskmasters to their followers, these are the common type of leaders will have now especially the Political leaders and not all leader have a sound economic vision but the decision to pick the right person to manage the economic unit of any office he or she is holding is the best decision they can make for the people

There are several definitions of a true or a good leader by many scholars but I have to align with someone who I cannot actually remember now. He saw a good leader as someone who is able to replicate himself in all his followers.
This means every of his follower would be able to represent him perfectly. He shares knowledge and opportunity to his leaders.
A leader fails if after his leadership, there is no will for others to carry on.

A true leader with economic vision must have this qualities - integrity, effective communication skills, he should have his vision, a leader who inspires trust and give importance to their followers or employees, selfless. A leader must prioritize ones personal interests while in other cases it may be more important to consider the greater good or the interests of the group as a whole. If a leader possess those qualities definitely he will be respected and loved by his followers and every endeavor he will face will be successful.

A  true leader must  be a good decision maker and willing to take risks, the  good leader is one who can inspire the workers  to do their best and should have self confidence. Leadership plays a keys role in sustainable economic growth as it involves providing opportunity for growth and progressive development. The economic development of any country to make easier and faster dependent on strong leader, to become a successful leader is not easy as we think.
