The bible says that money is the root of all evil.

Quote that? I believe it actually says the love of money is the root of all evil.

New International Version (©2011)
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

II have seen this misquoted so many times. The LOVE of money is the root of ALL KINDS of evil, not all evil.

Money is not evil in itself but I think everyone could agree that loving it can lead to some serious problems for sure.

Loving money is silly. Loving power is another thing and money is certainly a convenient way to acquire many kinds of power.

That is why I think that the Love of money is so dangerous. The reason people love money is because they want power and control or to feed their own prideful ego.

Some people, on the other hand, realize that money is simply a tool that can be used for good. Those who choose to use it for good are the true philanthropists and thanks to them we have more hospitals, organizations that feed the poor, and various other non-profit organizations that do great things in this world.

I hope that if by chance BTC increases substantially and the very small amount I hold does end up having great value that I can withstand the temptation to become a rich and prideful person and instead use the gift I have received to make the world a better place.
