Why would that be envy, when I benefit from it? And I could be much wealthier than I am, you know. I clearly do not love money.

Envy is not the answer to every criticism, as if it were the Number 42.

I think the situation is fundamentally unfair, is all, and I think anyone sacrificing effort and/or money to further Nostr is doing a good work by helping to right this wrong. The haters be damned.

if you think that someone should do something else with their wealth than what they are doing, that is envy

ignore those idiots, they are just wasting your time

bemoaning the bias of material reality towards the debased is pointless stating of the obvious

i think that envy is not just "wanting what other people have" but "wanting them to want the same things as you, including giving you things"

it is where you are preoccupied with other people's business and acting as though any failure you have can be put on someone else's judgement and not a flaw in your thinking

I was perfectly happy to ignore them and avoid them, but they feel the need to lecture me and I am absolutely sick of it.

But whatever. This only became such a long thread because the criticism until now has only ever been on those using Bitcoin as a currency, so everyone is shocked when someone turns the question around.
