There are multiple psychological hooks to keep Monero community members in place. Here is one:

Notice that Scientologists don't stand on street corners saying "Would you like to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Xenu?"

Put yourself instead in the shoes of someone who spent $10,000 and 2-3 years of their life on their courses

And you get a bunch of bad sci-fi - you have two choices:

- either swallow a very bitter pill that you wasted a pile of money and a portion of your life

- or swallow the sci-fi, and from that point on, you will swallow _anything_ they tell you.

In the cult trade that's called "insider doctrine".

Would you like to talk about our Lord and Saviour of NASA, Howard Chu?
