The history is way too extensive to write in a note, but I'm sure you've heard of the books and podcasts to find it in. TLDR: These men represented established banking interests, at times from foreign countries, and used high level manipulation tactics to become a parasite on the US.

I’m sure that’s all true but it’s incentives that motivated those things imo. It’s not some premeditated desire to just create evil and destroy the world. They want more money and power. And the desire for money and power tends to be insatiable. It’s a flaw of humans. We evolved to have scarcity mindsets.
Human greed
Exactly. We know that power corrupts.
It’s my greed that led me to Bitcoin. My desire to be wealthy and have a better life. If I gained a position of power, I might be corrupted. In fact, many of you would expect that. That’s why nostr and bitcoin are decentralized. We’re not fixing the world with altruism. We’re doing it by aligning with people’s self-interest in a way that can’t be corrupted. If we need people to change to fix the world, then it’s never going to happen. People will never change.
