I think there is more nuance to this. It isn't just a matter of being more individualistic or more collectivistic.

For example, Bitcoin works based off consensus. If the majority of nodes/mine reject a block on which a transactoin is mined on, that transaction would be orphaned. so in a sense, one could argue that this is collectivistic.

At the same time, If one runs a node, they are in charge of whatever settings or configuration they choose. No one can control or set what rules they choose to enable. They just need to ensure that their node is in consensus with the rest of the network.

Bitcoin works because it is decentralized and not dependent on a central planner. This doesn't mean it is inherently individualistic or collectivist.
