Yes, my father says this. It’s is a temporary phenomenon i think, people with similar values aligning around something that allows them to express those values seems cultish in the early days.
The memes, the btc jargon, the conviction and steadfastness across the board…it is cultish but it’s a feature not a bug at this stage. We are all singing in tune, clear messaging.
In the future when btc/nostr becomes self evident to many many more this may fade, until then we are early and happy culting!
