This is a really thoughtful reply. A bunch of rapid-fire responses are occurring to me, but when I get this feeling it makes me alert to arguing because I'm trying to win vs arguing because I'm trying to find the truth. So I mostly won't.

You could. But would you?

No.

As some say: "Be the change you want to see in the world"

I'm trying. But not hard enough, so it's good to be reminded.

But I guess sometimes, you are willing to sacrifice a little safety for some fun if it's worth it :)

The human condition in one sentence.

I'm glad this discussion (and the other one) exist and the points that are made have been made. It will be useful as part of the ongoing public dialogue about this topic, which is bigger than SN, I think.

if getting a loan is unethical then acquiring bitcoin is unethical, the person selling you the bitcoin is getting destroyed over time as well

When I read stories like this, which is something you see a lot in Bitcoin circles, it makes me so hopeful.

If you talk about money and wealth, people start to plot numbers in their minds. Bull market, 1,000% gains, yadi yada.

But money is not wealth. You can't eat a dollar, nor a Bitcoin. And all of Saylor's coins won't mean anything if you are stuck alone in a remote island. Or worse, stuck in a crowded city populated by lazy asses, idiots and evil men.

Bitcoin won't make us rich because of its dollar value going up. It will make us rich when it rescues millions of people from the meaningless, self-destructive, fiat-slave lives they are stuck in and lifts them into hard working, smart and independent grown ups that fix the world and themselves.

That will be true wealth, for everyone to enjoy.
