I CERTAINLY do not think PP's motivations are altruistic in any way.

But this continues to make my point.  Bitcoin does not care if you are altruistic or you are  bastard.  And it will crush you if you stand in it's way.  Over and over that has happened.  And I expect we will watch companies that try to game it, or own it, or overcome it, or break it be destroyed by it.  Possibly PP.

But I would think they can work any greed angle that aligns with the network.  Bitcoin does not care.

Also I think altruism can cause us to stand in the way of Bitcoin as well... and it will run over the altruistic just the same as the bastard.
