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.

Question:  Do you think it's ethical to buy a lottery ticket and hope that it pays off?  If it does, is it ethical to collect your winnings?

I know this is not exactly the same thing as Bitcoin, but I'd like to probe a little into the idea that it's wrong to increase ones wealth without being "productive".

Another:  Is it ethical to accept a large inheritance?  What about a small gift?
