Thanks for your replies.

When i said you need to work hard to earn money, I didn't necessarily mean holding a standard 9 to 5 job and being exploited by a company.
But actually doing something, creating some value. Being active.
You can do this when you have your own company as well. But all the companies create some value, some product that some people will use.
With philosophy of holding bitcoins, you create nothing, and potentially earn enormous sum of money.
And of course there is a lot of risk involved in it. But a lot of people speak of logarithmic charts and long term trends, and take huge future increase for granted. For them it's not about if, but when. I don't understand this feeling of being entitled to increase your wealth by, say, 100 or 1000 times in few years, by doing nothing and just holding bitcoin.

If such an attitude becomes too widespread, I'm afraid it can affect economy negatively.
