In order for you to care about something, you must first understand the difference between Bitcoin and everything else, and most people don't even understand the most important basics. As for the list (if you are referring to the marketcap), it is of course completely misleading in the sense that it leads people to think in a completely wrong way.
The markepcap list affect people's investment decisions though. Not everybody has the critical thinking skills. In fact most people don't think at all. When they see eth at #2, they think it must be a good project.
As far as I'm concerned, the president of the US and the Pope of Rome can thank him, but that doesn't erase the fact that he's a devious, hypocritical and greedy bastard. Regardless of all the good you may have done in life, people will always remember the bad.
Dunno, I wouldn't accept any help from a person like that or thank him If I were Andreas but that's just me. I always prefer to keep my distance with these people. Because in the long run their favors do more harm than good in my experience.
It is like accepting a donation from a guy that's sending dangerous vibes, what happens when this guy blows up a school few months later? Everybody will be looking at the huge donation you got from that person.
Maybe it means something to someone that he is rich, it means nothing to me personally. Even if he has ten times more money than now, does that make him a better person?
That's the point, he don't give a flying shit about what you or anyone else thinks about him. Being a better person? I don't think he cares about that either. He cares about making money and he is good at it.
