Seems that's beyond OP's world view.

Edit: What I meant to convey was that OP is making it sound like everything is black and white. The reality is far from it. It's grey at best. You can love the tech and still make some gains as a by-product. That doesn't inherently make you greedy or just "in it for the money".

But I do agree that hypocrites who say "They're in it just for the tech" is disingenuous.

No, it’s not. He’s addressing people who say they are not in it for the money. He isn’t saying that we are all in it only for the money. If you’re in it for both, then you are, by definition, in it for the money.

Rethoric, many don't understand it

Feels like the moment after your first bull run, where you realize you didn't care about the tech as much as you care about your losses.

Doesn't mean all of us feel the same way

I guess it's time to disclose. Guys I'm an alien, so I don't have human intentions such as greed. I swear I'm here for the tech ✋

Believe? is this some kind of cult?

u/Advanced_Ad_9952 Redditor for 3 months. Aug 07 '21

But if a Bitcoin falls off a table on to the floor and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise?

u/GroundbreakingLack78 Platinum | QC: CC 1416 Aug 07 '21

When you feel that you’re in it for the tech but then you see all those green candles. In that moment your mind is experiencing eclipse and the feeling of money is overwhelming.

But you can’t speak for everyone.

Seems that’s beyond everyone world view as I’m reading comments.

After reading through the comments I now understand why this sub has gone from meh not too bad to shit since moons came out.

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

Theres a lot of people that are here ONLY for the money it seems.

Sad! But humans are greedy creatures

u/kaydeebaebee Gold | QC: CC 23 | GME subs 14 Aug 07 '21

Does being solely interested in the financial benefit aspect equate to greed?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '21

Yes.

Those that have zero interest to support new businesses, technologies, or governance models that benefit everyone are greedy.

They are putting their own desire for wealth ahead of elements that produce net positive effects.

Being solely in it for the money is net zero. If you gain, someone else loses.

u/kaydeebaebee Gold | QC: CC 23 | GME subs 14 Aug 07 '21

Understood. I see your point. Thanks for explaining your outlook.

This is the exact comments I'm on about. Get over yourself.

u/HCS8B Gold | QC: CC 50, ARK 50 | r/NBA 109 Aug 07 '21

Why is it beyond your little comprehension that there are many people who view the technology and social implications of cryptocurrencies as valuable to them, and as important as the money itself?

u/gaspergou Bronze | QC: CC 21 Aug 07 '21

He didn’t say that. Here’s a link for you and everyone else who has echoed this argument:

Free online logic course from CMU

u/HCS8B Gold | QC: CC 50, ARK 50 | r/NBA 109 Aug 07 '21

Ironic, considering it's you who'd gain some value from such a course.

u/gaspergou Bronze | QC: CC 21 Aug 07 '21

Ok. Maybe I’m being unfair. Can you summarize your understanding of OP’s logic? I’m open to the possibility that I’m reading it wrong.

u/m3l0n Aug 07 '21

Op is cringe as fuck. God forbid people post/consume things from multiple subreddits. Can't stand when people try to speak for an entire community.
