I share with a stranger to make myself feel good, not because of the value of our non-relationship.

It makes you feel good because you value the act of doing good for the idea of humanity. It is specifically because of your value of life that this sharing makes you feel good.

I’d argue those are the same thing, but sure it isn’t necessarily the direct relationship with that person if we just want to be more precise about it. But I still think it’s the same idea.

Generosity takes a backseat to survival. If you don’t know where your next meal is coming from or don’t have a safe place to sleep, sharing with strangers isn’t likely to bring you the good feels. Security enables sharing and Bitcoin enables security.
