These idiots were hiding in their caves when the Bitcoin exchange rates were hovering around $5 per coin in 2012. All of them suddenly became active once the prices reached four digits. Even here in Bitcointalk, there are multiple threads requesting members to donate their Bitcoins to alleviate global poverty and all that shit. Those who became rich from Bitcoin are not liable to do anything to alleviate global poverty or to contribute to anti-climate change measures. We became rich because we took the risk in 2012 and 2013, when Bitcoin was relatively unknown. All these people who want others to donate their money are doing so because of jealousy.
I think a lot of the activity is just so that they can try to earn bitcoins with the spammy sig campaigns. I am happy to donate to things I care about, but not to the nonsense "global poverty" BS. People need to vote for freedom not authoritarianism (socialism, fascism, communism etc) if they want to get out of poverty. Property rights, freedom, education and the rule of law will do more to bring people out of poverty than people donating.
I started mining etc in July 2010. At any time anyone was free to involved in bitcoin, mining, developing, buying etc between Jan 2009 and today. Everything is about choices though. You could spend your money (for example) on netflix or spend it buying bitcoin in 2011, 2012, 2013 etc. Likewise, you can spend your time watching netflix or learning programming or anything with regard to bitcoin or anything else. You can play fortnite or you can learn something worthwhile, start a business or do something like that. Don't later complain later when you missed an opportunity because you chose to watch TV, go out drinking, partying, playing video games or anything else that takes you away from spending at least some time doing something productive. It doesn't have to be exclusively something productive, but don't complain later if you chose something else.
Just like people who complain about "the rich". In most "1st world" countries, parents could easily save 1000 euros or dollars for a newborn - 84 per month in one year. Cancel cable and netflix for a year and spend the time reading to your child. Don't buy coffee at Starbucks and you could save a 3000 or 4000 that first year. If you do that 1000 or 4000 and give it and invest it for the child, by the time they are retired, they'll have more than 1 million (or 4 million). Do it for a few more years, and it will grow even more. If instead of that, teenagers take the money for their phone and travel expenses (e.g. petrol/gasoline) and invest it from 13 to 18 they'll likewise have a few million by retirement even if they never invest anything again.
It is about choices though: instant gratification or understanding math and the power of compounding and acting on it. People make their choices and then they pay the price later or reap the rewards later. Don't expect people who are paying attention making smart choices to pay for your poor choices.
