As an entire group, I really don't think Bitcoiners are better or worse than any other large group of people, including the very rich. On the one side, you see scammers, frauds, Ponzis and the lazy who are attracted to Bitcoin because they think it's easy money. On the other, you see Bitcoiners who have donated hashrate to particular causes at some point in their careers and the ones who donate to Bitcoin crowdfunding campaigns. Somewhere in the middle are the ones who don't mind doing some honest work for a Bitcoin and maybe someday earning enough to leave to charity or their descendants in their wills. It's all in how you look at it. Bitcoin is a tool.

Have you looked at the speculation forum?

Its literally people decrying bankers for being scummy and rich.....followed by people self fellating eachother about how insanely rich they will be when BTC takes off and getting more people to buy in.

These are not the very early adopters. Yes even these want to become rich, but it doesn't mean that they will be as uncharitable as the current rich. I know that if I had $$$$, I would give much to the poor - like I have always done with my wealth.

I am thinking in terms of % of good people among bitcoiners vs % among the current elite - even if most turn out to be selfish.

I don't believe that power corrupts, I believe that the corrupt get into power - and power reveals their internal corruption.

What do you think of this quote?
