Belief in Bitcoin is disbelief in existing civilization. 

Belief in Ethereum is belief in many alternatives.

Belief in the US dollar is belief in high-end military power.

Belief in anything else is belief in control of material resources (neo-mercantilism)

I kinda believe in all these things

Believe in BASE is belief in neo theocracy

Belief in Ethereum is just the current civilisation's tendencies multiplied. Introducing markets into every facet of social life is a continuation of the normal trajectory of capitalism. Manchester textile mills -> consumerism -> internet -> decentralised value. Nothing particularly breaking with "all that is solid melts into air".
