The leader of a project like Bitcoin has to be an incorruptible fucking autistic who doesn't give a shit about hurting other people's feelings and who doesn't give a shit about what they say about him...
From the perspective that Bitcoin actually is a fiat currency, on the basis a group of developers controls it via their power of implementation - create, influence, veto - and each time the network is used a transaction must be accepted by the network, then having a head, or chairperson, is not out of the question.
Perhaps the system is already set up to allow this. Note in UK politics for long periods there is no single person out rightly a moral leader, however in times of stress the system allows for it, and those such as Winston Churchill rise up.
Bitcoin Core (BTC) lives in a competitive environment and if the key developers get it wrong, it will lose its dominance. Key competitors right now are Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Etherium (ETH) and Solana (SOL). Also emerging are CBDC’s.
