It is totally wrong. For instance if I tell somebody to invest in cryptocurrency, his first question will be why should I invest in cryptocurrency. What the benefit of cryptocurrency investment. If I tell him that it is the future currency and you can use it anywhere in the world, believe me he will not be interested, but if I explain him that he can make huge profits he will take interest.
the is very true. the news coming out today are also about making money in crypto which makes people. they are not about making innovation for the future. but if only resources are free link energy and we don't have idea of possession, we might not be interested in making money anymore. but since all these are not free, money is always been the most reason to motivate a person.
