If Bitcoin became dependent on altruism then it's failed. I'm all for people putting something back, but if that becomes a necessity then that's not a good sign. If it had made me a quadrillionaire I'd probably go around dropping it on people and blowing their minds.

We will never know what is the rich people thought. Maybe they already have great plan about their bitcoin. But we just see that they are not even try to improve it. It happens because some reason that only the rich people know. we just can predict it. maybe they already satisfied with their money or they have their own strategy.

I mean, they are so rich, they can start to mine Bitcoin, even if they lose some money they shouldn't care, they are ok with all those money they already have.
Am I wrong?
If you became rich and you are doing the dream life that everyone wants is thanks to Bitcoin, don't let him die.

You do not know everything what they do. Most rich people will regard information as their most valuable possession. So if they divide it, it's the same as battling the treasure. You do not know it's behind the scenes, they finance bitcoin miners with all the resources they need and, in return, they get a few percent from the miners. well, Who knows.

I think you have misunderstood something. The rich people are rich because they have managed to get people like you to buy their Bitcoins at a high price. That means they are now rich, and you are stuck with a Bitcoin that you can't use for anything and also cannot sell with profit because of the high transaction fees. You have made them rich. They will not help you.

Why is this guy "freightjoe" is always anti-bitcoin? The answer is must of the rich people that you are seeing investing in bitcoin don't have the technical knowledge about bitcoin. But don't worry the bitcoin lightning network is about to change everything by solving the bitcoin problems. Once the lightning network is implemented the bitcoin transactions would be faster and smoother than ever.

You are overestimating people nature. When you have tons of millions of dollars you do not care about other people and their problems. There are always '' decent '' exceptions in every field, but there is not yet so generous one in this field, I suppose Grin
The investors of Bitcoin are already rich men so the main is thing that what your thinking level is. Many rich men are rich due to their in heritage. They are not too intelligent to increase their money in more. But they are little bit lazy too that they feels that the money they have is enough for their lives and they don’t need to increase their income and resources. The people of this thinking are very rare, the mostly people are already in the community of Bitcoin for their better future.

For the simple reason that rich people are only interested in their money and not interested in Bitcoin's fate in the future, if I am rich by Bitcoin I will try to get other people to achieve it. like me and more,

The answer to this is they are simply not that greedy. On a more serious note, if all the bitcoin in the world will go to only one person, do you think people will still value it, knowing that only one person has it all? I don't think so. Bitcoin will lost it's value if it's only owned by one person.

Bitcoin is not dying but it is really very complex. More and more with the time. I think that the men with money are trying now to organize some other projects related to cryptocurrencies. But this is not the problem, just business.

Just because they are rich people doesn't mean they shouldn't care about losing some money. People take good care about their money thats why they become rich. Buying mining hardware and setting up is already expensive. Bitcoin won't die easily because there many people who use it and it has also many investors such as those rich people. The changes in price of bitcoin is natural so expect that it will rise again soon.

I think that people truly committed to the ideals behind bitcoin are no longer there, or have not found a way to agree to solve all this problem around bitcoin. I would not expect anything from those who have become rich thanks to bitcoin. These people only became interested in speculation without any moral principle because capital tends to take away from people the proper use of sound judgment.

Many of those rich people don not believe in crypto currencies for them this is just a bubble and they did not waste time discovering what are the capabilities of bitcoin and since government does not give full support to bitcoin they are also afraid that they might losing so much money just in cae they invest on it and it didn't turn out to be successful. But I think in the coming years they will realize how good bitcoin is and how it can really make them more richer

I think they just don't care and they just enjoy spending their money earned from Bitcoin.
There are many developers that don't care about money they just want to improve the Network and help other users.
But Bitcoin will not die if rich people do not invest their money to improve it.

no offense but your idea with rich people are wrong.
First of all they are not charity and most of rich people work their selves to get where they are and lastly you can't force them to always help the community and the reality is some of them just always thinks the return they will get if they invest into something.

Mining at a loss is not the solution to solve the transaction problem. We have to think of better solution.

Exactly! Instead of throwing money out of the window by mining, a better solution would be to fund a (research)team who could work along the volunteers, like Mozilla or others.

Why aren't rich people trying to mine to help bitcoin? Same reason as why not all rich people donate money to charities. Some are just simply not interesting in helping others. Also, calm down. Bitcoin isn't dying; it's definitely currently sort of crippled, though.
The crippling could lead to its death if not treated properly in a proper time,that is the biggest concern,the exposure of bitcoin is huge and these difficulties are the ones presented to a new user which will deter him to use it in the future,the only thing that attracts him is the ever increasing price,
when it comes to the OP,the rich with a lot of bitcoin will do what to help bitcoin,if you have a solution i would like to hear from you.
