Humans Vain idiots From birth to death everyone INCLUDING YOU are designed to want acknowledgement, recognition, and be appreciated, regardless of financial worth.
FTFY. It doesn't matter how you try to justify or re-frame it. You're pandering to idiots. Bitcoin is not a tool with which to do this.
It is you who is seeking to reshape and reframe what is naturally good, and have it viewed as either unnatural and wrong or naturally wrong.
The type of mentality your are expressing, is rooted in another natural behavior, a naturally bad behavior -- jealousy.
A child at birth REQUIRES by design to be held, and to be given copious amounts of attention to enable them to learn all that they will need to negotiate the world they are born into. From toddlers to tween the NEED for "attention" turns to a WANT for acknowledgement, then from teen to death degrees of that want for acknowledgement, recognition, and appreciation remains.
If it is natural, if it has a naturally good purpose, that it right; if it is natural, but has no naturally good purpose then it is either bad, no good, or wrong.
Acknowledgement, recognition, and appreciation are all good things, if they are good to give, logically someone must be on the receiving end of that shared goodness.
Finance is a complex subject, arbitrage is a more complex subset of finance, but neither are as complex as cryptocurrency, for those of us who choose to want to do CC arbitrage it makes great sense to approach it in a group setting, a setting that recognizes, acknowledges, and appreciates the good things each member brings to the table.
