Without greed, no one would have invested any time or money into Bitcoins a few years ago.

Unless they believed they were doing something worthwhile. An intellectual exercise. That's not greed.

You need to appeal to people's instinctive greediness on some level to get just about any project off the ground.

So you start all your projects based on greed? That's pretty depressing. You must not do much for fun.

I don't really see greed as a problem to Bitcoins. It's a necessary kickstarter to build its infrastructure.

If BTCs were worth zero, then why should anyone care to trade them or mine them?

So yeah, greed does make the world go around.

Depressing.

How many people can you get into the system to build it up to where it is today if it wasn't because of greed?

For every user who are here for an "intellectual exercise", it's likely that you have another 3 or 4 who are in here for monetary gains. Let's not delude ourselves.

Lol @ you believing we are getting people 'into the system' by making them run after profits

noob is noob
