If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude more than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace.

We ask not your counsels nor your arms.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.

May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

- Samuel Adams

I guess this mainly applies to politicians because otherwise there's nothing wrong with free competition and seeking wealth

Seeking wealth over virtue in the end kills the value(s).

That's something Bitcoin NGU maxis suffer from. They lost the plot, often shitting on their natural cypherpunk allies they find in Monero.

Monero + Bitcoin cypherpunks on one side

ETF-NGU-KYC-CEX trust me bros on the other side.

prescient comment from sam

He must have been already somewhat wealthy himself at least compared to the average person.
