I believe that appeals to math can obscure the role of trust. This is demonstrated by the formation of an industry of scammers exploiting the phenomena. Millions of people don't understand cryptocurrencies but buy in anyway, confidence bolstered by their lionization (but not comprehension) of math.

I think it's an illusion worth drawing attention to.
