People who are motivated by solving a problem or creating something new usually achieve wealth as a byproduct not as a intended goal. And people who pursue wealth without merit usually get neither.

Well-said
And what about those who are both, motivated by solving a problem and getting rich while doing it? Is that allowed? Or is the only honorable way of running these projects that the devs should be poor and work their asses off to make the "investors" rich?
Are these companies? Or are these cryptocurrencies? The point is decentralization, so the makers aren't the ones that mostly benefit. Satoshi's coins have never even been moved once since they were mined, aside from the few coins he gave right after Bitcoin was launched as tests to hal finney and a few others.
The problem with people like you is that you solely think of these cryptocurencies like centralized companies and looking at your posts, you only value them as pennystock-like entities to earn you profit by pumping and dumping. You also support developers that premine or dishonestly instamine because it gives "motivation" work more, while destroying any integrity the cryptpcurrency had. You shouldn't even be here if you have that kind of thinking, that isn't what Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general are about.
And how exactly "decentralization" is in contradiction with the one who is creating all the value being allowed to benefit from it?
The problem with people like you is straw men, red herrings, non sequiturs, ad nauseams, and now ad hominems.
That's the whole problem. As your former developer Vertoe said, having 1 person make all the decisions and subsequently all the value is Centralization, of which you obviously don't care about. So why are you here? If all you care about is making money off the cryptocurrencies and absolutely nothing else, don't even bother typing on this forum. Making money is great, but that shouldn't be the sole reason to be here, you should want the technology and coin to succeed, get used widely, have less volatility in the long run, etc, not just look forward to the various pumps and dumps that come along(And is one of the main reasons Bitcoin is hardly used as a currency).
Having a main dev makes a coin centralized? If the community is not happy how things are being done, they can always take over. Hasn't happened yet though.
Btw, just because someone has profited shitload more than you doesn't mean that's the only thing they care about.
