Very much the opposite of compassion.

More for me, don't care about your needs. Suffer hunger, cold, misfortune, all the more for me.

I think i am in the same camp and whould add not caring about your self to it. Saying forfeiting health happyness family etc

"Obsession to acquire" i guess

Acquiring ressources for the sake of acquiring them. Way past the level of what’s needed. It can be for profit, security, etc… There’s no negative connotation to it, it’s just human nature

That is intresting for me there a negative aspect to it. But i fully understand your view 🤝

Ya thats the only part of the definition that I was a bit iffy about. I wanted to distinguish between human greed thats intrinsic to human nature (the positive one) vs excessive greed (which has a negative connotation)

I see that for me whould be human desire and greed on its own implies excessive.

But i guess all humans have some form of greed 🤔

Yes I believe we all have it. We need our intrisic greed to save for the future, for example.

One great example of excessive greed is the government with “temporary” taxation and inflation 😂

😂 should be 🤡🌎 instead

Feeling the need of having something, regardless of how much you already have and regardless of how much more someone else would need it.

Greed is the desire to accumulate wealth and power. Greed indirectly forces collaboration, serving as a strong force behind improvement and innovation. Greed motivates individuals to trade, work harder, aim higher, and pursue greater achievements, potentially leading to economic growth, technological advancements, and societal progress.

To keep greed in check, it’s important to build a culture with strong ethics and systems that prevent theft and removes the financial incentives for aggression as much as possible. Fix the money, fix the world. #Bitcoin #Multisig
