Wanting something for nothing is "greed"

Fiat money with all of its bailouts & endless printing is also an effort to get something for nothing.

Bitcoin is exactly the opposite. Perfect scarcity, regulated by shared code & a fair & energy intensive competition.

fiat is something for nothing for those who issue it

bitcoin is something for nothing for those who HODL it

i respect neither

And for those who perpetually live in debt that would not otherwise be possible to create. People owning lots of real material wealth for no money down is greed too.

Money is the most important tool for facilitating peace & production among all people.

The first people willing to forgo consumption in order to pour the results of their value creation into something new & uncertain, in order to bootstrap a more fair money into existence, deserve to be rewarded for risking what they have to wipe out fiat slavery.

There has never been a more merit based system. Knowledge & vision are rewarded.
