It's global and a general human trait. It's a trait associated with the mob mentality.

I can confirm it with one example. Here in India, it's a mob mentality that government jobs are far more better a career than a job in private sector or self employment or a business or anything else.

But in fact government jobs are way under paid than other ways. Can you compare a government servant to a businessman who even has his own small store somewhere in the centre of the market. The businessman has much more income than the government servant. Even hawkers in India can earn better than government servant now.

But the mob mentality is such that even schools, parents, well wishers, relatives and almost everyone here seem to preach young generation that they should somehow get a government job. Because government jobs are very limited in numbers, so most of young people don't get them and at last have to satisfy with anything.

The same is happening with Bitcoin, I think.
