I *think* the earliest ones have already amassed quite a bit of wealth, and - anecdotally speaking - it seems that bitcoiners are generous and well-intentioned, by and large. (Although maybe I’m conflating bitcoiners with nostriches 😉)

I think it’s the fiat-minded “crypto” folks who have and will continue to live a conspicuous consumption lifestyle. People like that will always exist.

But I know that if my stack someday (long into the future) gives me the means to try and make the world a better place, on a large scale, that I am going to do exactly that. And I believe in human goodness, so I think I’m not the only one who would do so.

And as a last resort, humans are self-interested. If Bitcoin becomes so valuable in fiat terms that corporations or governments try to control it, then it’s in the self interest of every bitcoiner out there to push back. And unlike in the cantillon-effect-fiat-world, it would actually be possible to do so.
