Idealistic greed is different from regular greed. Idealistic greed is always about expanding the mission. To do work that's even more important. To reach even more people. To expand the battle or skirmish into a full-on war (see this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21612488 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21612488). It can lead to ruin just as easily as regular greed can, particularly when you consider that the people you end up negotiating with, who often specialize in regular greed, are usually better at it, and aren't hobbled and constrained the way you are by your vision or mission.
