What the commies who hate billionaires do not understand is that money does not have the same value when you spread it to millions of economic actors.

A billionaire can only eat three meals a day, no matter how rich he is. He can buy a yacht or a mansion, but those don’t compete with you for bread, meat, or rent.

If you split his fortune among millions of people, they all rush to buy the same things — groceries, houses, cars — and prices explode.

The problem isn’t that billionaires “hoard” wealth. It’s that most people don’t understand what happens when you try to spend it all at once.

They also fail to understand that it's not 0 sum game.

Do you think the best way to help the poor is not to be one of them? That statement used to bum me out. I had a beat up imagination before bitcoin. Now it’s almost impossible to be poor. I can’t stop imagining things now there is a money that isn’t broken. My two cents thanks for the post

The best way to help poor people is to give them work to do. That means being a good capitalist that grows a business generating business.

Totally and then their job is to do the same :) give it away to keep it!

Someone gets it. Nice mate.
