This life is not just about expanding our wealth.
- fwiwm2c 6y agoIt is absolutely not - where did I say it was? But you do invest your money in stocks or bonds don't you? Why couldn't you have invested 1% of your capital in BTC in 2018? Just treat it as one of those investments which went well?
- korijn 6y agoWhy would I, for any other reason than to expand my wealth?

- morlockabove 6y agoEverything bad is because of [buzzword that represents everything bad about the current social order]. Do lefties have a "not real capitalism" meme like the "not real communism" meme for righties?

- korijn 6y agoThat's not something I disagree with. I do that. But via traditional means (I generate something of value and get wealth in return), not solely by using my wealth to generate more wealth. I hate bitcoin because you can only participate (and become more wealthy) if you're already fortunate/privileged enough to be wealthy. It's just another thing that helps increase the divide between rich and poor.
