Waqar Zaka vs Bilal Bin Saqib – The Double Standards in Crypto Support
Waqar Zaka was one of the earliest voices in Pakistan advocating for cryptocurrency legalization. He fought relentlessly, using his platform to educate people about blockchain technology, urging the government to accept crypto as a legitimate financial tool. Despite his efforts, he faced resistance, lack of support, and even criticism from institutions and the general public. Many dismissed his campaign, labeling it impractical or controversial.
Fast forward to today, and now Bilal Bin Saqib is gaining widespread support for the same cause, simply because he is UK-based. The same people who ignored Waqar Zaka are now backing Bilal, showing how public perception shifts based on timing, international influence, and background. While Waqar's efforts weren’t entirely in vain—since they laid the foundation for crypto discussions in Pakistan—he never received the recognition he expected.
This situation reflects how society often dismisses pioneers only to later embrace a similar idea when it comes from a more socially accepted or internationally recognized figure.
