I do think that who owns large amounts of Bitcoin is significant to the overall trajectory of humanity. On that basis, I wouldn’t knowingly shill Bitcoin to evil people. [Of course, this in itself opens other questions: is X permanently evil or temporarily evil? Will Bitcoiners become evil after becoming incredibly rich?]

Bitcoin is all about consensus and those with the largest voices and largest ability to influence, will naturally have a larger impact on bitcoins trajectory. Most the time this will be the same ggroup of people who have large bitcoin holdings. But I'm not entirely mad about that... the more skin in the game you have, your opinion on that thing should mean more because its failure or success matters more for you, right or wrong.

I think humans are falliable and so there will always be the natural tendency for "evil" to creep into even the most righteous person. This is amplified by power and as we all know money can buy power.

All that said, I still don't know what's my stance on this...

Commit yourself to eternal vigilance. Both on yourself and others who act contrary to that which is good.
