Bitcoin Forum

Since BTC and crypto everyone wants to get rich and earn a lot of $. Everywhere you look it's the same story, be it BTC or any other shitcoin. It's obvious not everyone will make it.

Yeah, getting rich is nice and I also hope it will happen for myself but I feel the society is becoming way too materialistic. Also the greediness level seems very high, everyone want to get more and more.

What's your view on this?

My view is that you seem overly bitter that you missed the DogeShip to Mars.

If you drink, drink , if you smoke, then smoke,
because you might as well relax everything will unfold as it was intended.

LOL, BTC has no more to do with greed than fiat.  That is one silly assumption.  Maybe you feel greedy when you make money.  Most don't.

As expected and a part of reality where people do all sort of things as long it would able for them to make money or profits which its no surprise that this crypto market had become

the main trend and for some noobs that do just know this market recently will really be having this kind of perception on how they would be making easy profits.

Once the reality would slapped out into their face then that's the time they would learn up from their own experience.

human nature is always lacking and lacking if it has something, I personally do not deny the situation.
example I have bitcoin after the price goes up to 50k $ I sell my bitcoin and I buy another token to get even more profit from selling my bitcoin,
So in my opinion, it is only natural that humans are materialistic, which is like you say, because humans never satisfied

Everyone will do everything for money no matter what it takes and we become greedier when we're talking about money. We'll want to live our life to the fullest without worrying about making money because the world is not really a nice place. So we can't blame them if they're being materialistic and greedier when it comes to money since we need it in order to live.

Nothing has changed since BTC started, people have always wanted more than others have - it is the bedrock idea of capitalism. We've seen how communism does not work, because it takes the reward away from working harder or smarter. The ubiquitous and far reaching effect of the internet is more likely to make it seem that people are greedier. The media plays a part, always looking for the next article that will seem ultra shocking and bring in more viewers for advertisers, so they have incentive to exaggerate stories. People always want to chase easy money as well, after all it is not "glamorous" to work hard for 50 years to buy a house and build up a pension, when you're seeing others making 20,000% on their money in the space of a few months. Governments around the world also have their monetary printing press on overdrive at the moment, as you can see from furlough in the UK to free cash given out in America, where does that money go when people cannot spend it on shops or entertainment? Speculative investments. Once Covid has calmed down things may get closer to normal, whatever that may be.

Greed is man's inherent trait, at least, the capitalist nature of people seem to shine through when given the centre stage. But don't blame Bitcoin, or money, for that matter. As much as most of the space seems to be dominated by those you mention, I've personally still met many more Bitcoiners who are anything but otherwise. Kind, helpful, generous. Just because they're silent doesn't also mean they're the minority =)

Everyone wants to be rich so they are greedy to make money since when they money system was actually implemented so I don't see any drastic change in the people being greedy after bitcoin and crypto currency. But I can say one thing, people who enters into the crypto currencies are greedier because they are coming here with the thought of become rich overnight.

Yes we want to get rich.  And we can get rich so why not? There is enough for everyone.

That's normal to see people who have been telling things what they want to buy if their investment in bitcoin grows.

We all have our own dreams and those material things might be their dream and I wouldn't judge them for telling their inspiration why they hustle and why they've invested in bitcoin for that hope to reach that goal they've set.

It's more fear in the markets currently rather than greed if you compare the Fear & Greed index. And if you think it's people's greed to earn a lot of money and become rich, I believe you're wrong here. They don't want to become rich but to make some extra bucks by investing their money so to have savings for the upcoming future that's going to be worst after covid spreads its 4th wave everywhere. It's not going to be easy any more for anybody to survive the pandemic situation that's killing so many people daily yet burial sites are full and the dead bodies are just ruined.  :'(

I guess it's just normal though, BTC and the rest of the cryptos are giving us an opportunity to make money then why not?


For me there's nothing wrong about that idea, society or individual will have to learn how to survived in this pandemic. And through crypto we did and then some, so everyone has an ambition to have a good life not just for the investors or crypto enthusiast but for his family as well.

Greedy, is one of the human' primitive essence in nature. Thanks to it, human can manage their life in the wild and evolve to the generation today. Thus, it is hard to get rid of it. We are living in the world where we can easily connect to other people through the internet. That is why we are easier to witness other activities, what they are doing and how they are investing. So when we see other people get rich quickly, our essence raises even stronger than usual.

No for me it didn't became greedier because of BTC,
It just happen that it is easier to see how greedy people now due to the internet.
People has always been greedy maybe some doesn't know it but it has always been like it we could just see it clearly due to the internet.

It is very hard to create new business. And bitcoin gives opportunity to be rich or create own without a lot of money. You just need to create some great idea and knowledge about bitcoin and how it work. Put them together and get rich. It's not about greedy, it's about new opportunity.

Since bitcoin becomes a boom this year, many people want to try to make money from crypto.
They invest in many projects, whether it is old or new projects, because their purposes are to make money.
We all see many people become rich from crypto this year, which makes many people join to be the next rich people from crypto.
That is good for crypto because that can help the popularity grows and the mass adoption can running good this year.
If many people can become rich, whether, from crypto or other things, that can make their lives better and hopefully, they can help each other have a better life.

Certain! But luckily bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are available to everyone. When I think of something like people busily looking to get rich by investing in crypto, I also think that the invention of bitcoin came at the right time.

Bitcoin has broken the borders and has given the population the freedom to manage their money throughout the crypto space that is growing today.
Obviously not everyone has the ability to invest in crypto to be millionaires but they can invest to solve everyday situations.

I think Bitcoin opened up the Pandora's box of greediness, because a lot of people missed the Bitcoin boat. So they tried to recreate the whole Bitcoin thing with Alt coins and now all these greedy people are chasing the next Alt coin that will go to the Moon.

The majority of these Alt coins are mere Shitcoins and Pump n dump schemes with zero use case. Just look at how SafeMoon is being whored on social media to build hype. It is actually sad to see all these people selling their a$$ for profits.  :(

yeah greedy in a positive context, namely technological advancement and providing an alternative for everyone to have opportunities and equality both economically and socially. because basically the presence of bitcoin has given birth to ideas that have never been presented in any lecture-based science. so knowledge that can give a brighter future to anyone who has fallen in love with bitcoin.

thank you

Bitcoin didn't change anything, people were always looking for increasing their wealth ever since the society was established. Merchants were trading goods and making profits thousands of years ago, stocks have existed for hundreds of years, and the same things that you observe in Bitcoin community can be found in any other investment circle.

Also, you can't blame Bitcoin for making society more materialistic, because Bitcoin isn't even widely known. If you start asking people on the streets, hardly anyone owns Bitcoin, most just heard about it a few times, and some people don't even know what it is.

Precisely, bitcoin didn't change anything or even the manner of the people that lead to greediness because even before bitcoin was made and existed people already have this. The society that we are belong has already the standards and social economic level of people that classify people whether a rich or poor. What I have realized bitcoin was given to us was a previlege to give chance to ourselves to find the things that we know we would love to dealt with and at the same time we can benefit it from.

Of course, many now want to get rich with cryptocurrency. In my opinion, this is a normal desire. However, this reminds me of the "gold rush" period. Many people now invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and then, in a panic, sell it with a sharp drop in price, suffering losses. This has happened many times before, and probably it will be so more than once.

That is fine if you know the rule, I mean bitcoin is able to giving you an instant profit, as an example you spend money $100.000 as your first capital to invest in bitcoin. You bought it at the lower price let say $30.000 and you just need several days to double your capital and you getting rich with an instant way right?

But, that situation need a knowledge not depend on the luck alone. This is what you see to the most people who just know bitcoin, they buy bitcoin in the FOMO situation without know how its price movement before. At the end they will lose their money and make a bad statement against bitcoin. That is really bad condition because will make bitcoin more volatile and regulatory restrictions from some countries.

Maybe it's happening, since the start of BTC people didn't know about cryptocurrency well and then BTC started to introduce itself as a reliable currency but it takes much time to set its position. When people show the advantages of using crypto then they feel interested to use it. Day by day it becomes a valid and demanding way of exchange and investment so now this time people increasingly want to accept BTC.

Well they're becoming more materialistic because of those social media influencers anyway.
Now that many people are dreaming to buy Tesla because BTC is now adopting it as a payment method to buy one.
BTC is just a decentralized crypto, and it doesn't have that kind of magic power to manipulate people.
It is just that it opened another way to buy one. Through the convenience of it , people got to hyped up to pursue buying one.

Greediness increased very highly especially in the last one year. I've seen many people who even sold their everything and invested it into cryptocurrencies. This is really an insane idea. And it also causes people to go into depression and even to commit suicide.

This event only EXPOSES the greediness of the people. You can see different kinds of people who doesn't even want to risk anything but as soon as they've seen success, they go, that's just how it is , and who people are. It's the very basics of advertising and marketing.

well, that is the phenomenon of greed that cannot be stopped, because it involves the endless satisfaction of each individual who just wants to keep racing to collect all that is desired. this cannot be prevented individually. to be honest, the aggressiveness of traders and investors is almost indistinguishable which one is really cultivating and which one is just taking profits without looking in the other direction from the positive side of bitcoin.

In my opinion, it does not mean that greed and momentum to reach heights have been long awaited and it is only natural that they sell because they have already made big profits.
and it's their right and in investing they have a different strategy and just to get a big profit.
And with the increase in bitcoin more people will be involved, so there's no need to worry about the increase happening again in the long run.

Greed is the most common thing that every humans have which is also the reason why there are so many things that happens bad. Each individual person wants to get rich no matter what and this is the reason why people won't stop even if they are already gaining. It is also the reason why people hold their coins no matter how much loss they are because they set their sight on the high value on the future of crypto.
But that doesn't mean that greed is totally bad rather having too much of greed is what we should be concern about. Remember that " You shouldn't come closer to the sun".

It isn't only Bitcoin but all things that is related to profit.  Greed is one of peoples trait so it is not surprising that when an opportunity appears, people tend to get greedy of it regardless of the nature of the opportunity.  People had been greedy even before BTC is created.  The best example is the distribution of wealth.

actually it's not wrong if everyone wants to be rich. because we now have to wrestle with money. and I am very sure that I, you and even almost everyone in this forum all want to be rich and this is not materialistic but a necessity.
but bitcoin is only one option so that we are rich so why don't we do it well and learn in a good way and get to know the ins and outs of the crypto world.
everyone has ambition and also everyone has a chance as long as they want to mean it

Governments all over the world are printing money like crazy right now, as shown by furloughs in the UK and free cash handed away in AmericaThings can return to normal, whatever that means, once Covid has settled down.People who invest in crypto currencies are more greedy because they believe they will become wealthy instantly.

Fact and we shouldnt really put up some emphasis only in BTC because these greedy behaviors had been existing already on traditional markets or even with those typical businesses that we do had

or into things that do really connects to profits which human behaviors would be typically on this area most of the time.Whom wouldnt consider on making more money?

This is our main priority in life because money is really important and dealing up with things correlates to it is just a typical thing.

People who have been greedy. Taking money is what everyone wants because money gives them a comfortable and comfortable life both material and mentally. Bitcoin causes humans to become greedy. Bitcoin profits are huge it can help you rich in rapidly possible after a short time. But according to me this is not bad because not everyone has a understanding and boldly spends money to invest Bitcoin. I support this rich way. I am also enriched from Bitcoin.

The world is already full of greediness even before the Bitcoin era. We are all greedy but depends on what level we have, but if we use greed for good I think its all good. People jump in to invest in Bitcoin for they believe that it might change their lives and give their families a better living.

I can agree with that. Human beings are born greedy. So we don't know if the rise of bitcoin, people become greedier. We can't measure the greediness, right?  ;) But if people learn how to use this human nature into something positive, why not? This is how we survive. We learn the ropes of how to use our innate skills to survive in this world. Without our tenacity, would be hard to counterattack the changes in our environment.

Indeed, every people's mindset is to get rich on thing they don't really need to because it by influence on many technology advancement.
What they've seen from other individuals is what makes them desire for more without satisfaction. Just like what had happened from the past frustrations I had, all opportunities have been lost due to greediness from failure of expectations.

It's part of human history, everyone is greedy, from the rise of Roman empire to WWII. So I don't think that Bitcoin help to accelerate it, Wall Street have been doing this for half a century, making money out of thin air, running Ponzi schemes etc.

And so there's no need to put a blame of Bitcoin, well at least people understand how someone increases his wealth overtime.

The world has always been a greedy place. I just think the world got more miserable since bitcoin, although the access to internet popularized. That is why there are a lot of people looking for money online nowadays, seeking for earning opportunities that aren't disponible outside the virtual universe, on their physical places.
It's not a strange fact, however, as there are more than 7 billions of humans in this world so far, and increasing day by day. Where are these people going to get money for a living? Bitcoin and crypto in general look a promising alternative for many.

BITCOIN is extra special stupid, don't think otherwise, this is the first 'global ponzi'

Truth be told is that USA education 'dumbing down' has been in high-gear now 50+ years, this is what makes the ponzi universal amongst young people, as they have no future, their jobs were shipped to CHina, before they were born, and now they have a religion 'bitcoin' that revolves around a chinese-based crypto.

How will this end? Like the plan along, from the 1950's, build a wall around the USA, and make it the worlds largest destination 'whore house', the slaves will do anything for money, including sell/rent their children. This has been the plan all along.

BITCOIN is just conduit to drain wealth from anybody that still has a nickel, and isn't living from stimmy to stimmy.

BINGO,and the 'lockdown' by design, only accelerates this trend towards locking people in their prison home, and tethering them to their online virtual world, what does it mean to be 'rich' when your locked down?

Freedom was always about being free, money was always about easy means to obtain travel to see the world as you wish, nowadays, money doesn't buy you anything other than shit-food, or AMZN crap from China,

The trend of "You don't have anything, you'll be locked down, and you will be happy" is accelerating, and this is where they intend to take you.

The 'greed' element of BITCOIN is just to make the lockdown 'easier' as morons say "Yes, I'm locked down, but I'm getting rich", as if that actually meant something.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

The greedy rich also wants higher taxes to stay on top and let the poor pay higher taxes for them to stay poor, that's how greed can do. I guess if you are in a position like the Bidens will always want that in order for them to be rich for the generation to come. The Bitcoin holders who are about to get rich are going to be subdued by these greedy men.

Taxes are as misunderstood as BITCOIN

"The power to tax, is the power to destroy"
 - some famous person long ago

The USA since 1911, has printed money as they wish, to finance wars, and anything they wish.

IRS & Taxes were designed to control people and fine tune society, much of 'taxes' say real-estate, or the stock-market capital-gains taxes are designed to steer where people invest.

This of course is more on the Federal level, as State&County's can't print their own money to infinity, the sales-tax, property, and business licenses to fund Schools, and Police, but more&more all is & will be federalized, most of the BLM movement is just to shutdown local cops and federalize into one USA policing system, education is the same one federal system ( shit education ) is the goal

The Greedy-Rich OWN, and Control our Federal-GOV, all politicians are paid whores beholden to our legacy rich, and most of these riches go back 100's of years.

The rich don't care about money, because they always had it, and always will. The  funny thing is the REAL rich aren't even mentioned in the media. Only the faux rich like Kardashian

BIDEN is life long tool of the Democratic Party, a party that always gets us into wars, a party that essentially is an arm of the MAFIA ( now public employee unions ) prisons, cops;  Same as always gendarmes, prisons, and executioners run the GOV. The purpose of the GOV is to protect the RICH from the poor public debt slaves.

The purpose of BITCOIN is to siphon off wealth from up & coming to prevent them from ever competing with legacy rich.

Hell yes, now that the bitcoin idiots are 'rich' on paper, its time for a 90% tax on them so called 'haircut' to bring them down to earth, so says BIDEN and his "WOKE ARMY". Hell there is even Biden talk of Bitcoin tax to cover 'slavery' and payback the black-slaves for lost wages 1600's to 1800's. All that BITCOIN 'wealth' could easily ensure the DEM Party of Black Vote for another century :)

Fools here will say impossible, remember IRS-COINBASE will just 'black-list' your coin address, if all high-value addresses aren't declared KYC by a given date. Should GOV decide to cash-out those addresses its easy-peasy for NSA to provide the private-key for those addresses, as dictated by the 'woke' in power.

Greedy is a human trait that has existed since time immemorial. And this trait of course cannot be eliminated, it can only be controlled.
Regarding Bitcoin which has an impact on increasing Greediness, maybe so. because some people will even do anything to get instant profit from Bitcoin. But of course, no process is instant. With hard work and also awareness of the meaning or meaning of Bitcoin will make us more aware of this positive effect of Bitcoin.

You are totally right. Now that everyone involved in Cryptocurrency knows how quick some times you can make it from investing in it, people have become more hungry to make it and we have seen post where people ask "Am I late to the Party?" This is to let you know that people coming into crypto investment now thinks they are already late and they have to do everything necessary to make it as quickly as possible hence the greediness and we know how it is with money, humans always wants more.

It didn't become greedier, we as humans were greedy in the first place and bitcoin just showed what we really are. It is in our DNA that we protect what we possess and strive for more, not to mention that there is a pandemic to worry about and we become paranoid of our mortality and the depletion of resources.

If they are trying to get instant profit, they will not get that unless they are at the right time. Nonetheless, only people who can learn bitcoin and how to get bitcoin correctly will get what they want in the future. Everything that we want will have a process, and we should understand that time will answer it for us.

Greedy can be controlled, but that will need an effort to learn how to control the greedy.

Yes, I do agree that the world has become greedier place. To be honest, I've become greedier as I saw the Bitcoin and altcoins booming. On few occasions, I have lost sleep over making quick buck overnight and it was affecting my mental health. I have had thoughts that I should have accumulated, say BTC1000 in the past through faucets when the payouts in bitcoins were huge. But I can't change the past and now I have moved towards acceptance.

I have realized that the goal in life isn't to become richer and acquire huge wealth; rather it is to have the freedom in life to do what I love. Hope this concept helps a lot of people who are chasing money and materialistic things. Thank you.

- You also don't need to put all the responsibility on bitcoin because if bitcoin does not fulfill this mission, another form of investment will do the same when the material needs of society are being raised while the annual salary is still low, an opportunity like bitcoin actually makes us greedier, plus spreading on the internet, the world is crazier for pouring their money into investing. Maybe in the investment process, there will be many tragedies, but many people also get many good things, such rare opportunities actually force us to be greedy to gain every bit of the benefits

It’s not something that has to do with bitcoin. As usual , greedy people will always be attracted to things like this, but saying it’s something that has to do with bitcoin is where you’re getting it wrong, because the world has been greedy from the start, people are hardly satisfied and they are doing anything to get money.

There is no space that you will go to and you won’t find people who are greedy, and most of them do pay the consequences for being greedy, they end up losing more than what they are going to get and they regret at last. It is up to you to decide how you’re going to be living your own life, if you feel you’re being greedy, then learn to control yourself.

Investing in cryptocurrency can't be classified as greed. I think this school of thought is self centered. Would you love to see people come to you when ever the have issues to be solved. I encourage as many who would like to invest to acquire as much coin as their fiat contain

If you think that cryptocurrency is a promising alternative i am also not against that as there are many things that can be achieved by the cryptocurrency market place but to come out with innovative business ideas you need to be skillful enough to generate the income you are looking forward and we are living in a time when you can start a global business if you have an internet connection and even if you are not in the cryptocurrency market you can successfully start any business.

Ever since the ancient times, greed was already present as one of the behaviors that people do possess that making them do things to be able to acquire not just enough but more than of what they truly need making other people to get left behind. With the existence of Bitcoin, we cannot just say that people gets even greedy because the idea of being greedy have already been intensified with the existence og money and wealth that everyone wanted to attain such life and position. Bitcoin has nothing to do with that because greed is in nature of the people.

I disagree with you.
1) When BTC was created people barely support it and only genuine enthusiasts support it then
2) Humans are greedy naturally but it all depends on how each individual has control over his greed.

But people focus more on cryptocurrency ever since the government fails to create a better solution to an economic meltdown which is also the reason why Satoshi create Bitcoin. However, people still don't focus much on crypto until the pandemic unleashes the potential of Bitcoin to the world.

In the past, its been all about the rich seeing and utilising the opportunities that exists in our world. Not like much have changed about that fact today but certainly there is a difference though, only the smart once seems to see the potential in what bitcoin holds. Governments denying its awesomeness only delays the time it would take to reach its full potent and as such, creates room for more awareness and time for the poor masses to get on board with the rich, invest and reap the fruit from there investments (ROI).
So, its not about the world being greedy but about people exploiting from the opportunities available while its still young and viable.

People always have been greedy, this much becomes clear if you look through history. All the wars and deaths were about money and power. However, centuries ago money was the attribute of the elite, regular folks didn't think of such things, they only thought about working and keeping themselves and their families alive.
Now, as both people and economic system have evolved, and especially with the emergence of cryptocurrencies being rich has become more accessible, and, therefore, the overall greediness, so to speak, has increased.
But I wouldn't say that cryptocurrencies have made people greedy. No. They only revealed our true nature.

Definitely people has always been greedy about money. Increasing this greedier bitcoin has played big role. In sometime bitcoin has given unexpected return. People has become reach who hold btc from beginning. Everybody thinking it is very easy to make money from bitcoin but now at this point we can be on losing side because btc came very early in market. Now cryptocurrency has become more advanced. At present time any project can beat other project. So people should understand these things and not be to too greedier.

Frankly speaking, YES. People are getting greedier and without even doing 1% of research they start falling for 100% scam projects. This might be a greater risk in the long run because governments will use it as a tactic to put a ban or put more taxes on cryptocurrencies. I understand that the scammers should be the ones who should be held accountable here but the people who just think that their money will get doubled in a month are also accountable. It's greed that is taking over them.

Because basically what some people are looking for is money, because money can change what we want. Maybe it's natural in my opinion that this happens, but the problem is when people who just enter the world of Crypto are too FOMO or put themselves at risk, causing panic that spreads to others. In my opinion, it would be great if there was an introduction before plunging into the world of Crypto, for example the risks that would occur. But it also depends on the person .... In my opinion, is there something wrong? corrected please ..  ::)

Hello everybody. To some extent, we can say that people have become "greedier". But it fits perfectly into human nature. As clever people say, "a fish is looking where it is deeper, and a person is looking where it is better." So here, while a person is alive - it is quite normal that a person has received something for free (after all, the cost of Bitcoin started from absolute zero) - having come to a price of 50K, he wants even more.

My point is yes. Whenever you enter the crypto industry. You must love it, indulge it. You put your money in it. No one wants losses and profits to be borne out. That means you stay up late, more optimistic, you will have the habit of tracking prices anytime, anywhere. All of that speaks volumes about my ambitions or, less, my hopes for my investment. Nobody is stupid to throw their money away ^^

There is no such thing as a free lunch

Bitcoin cultists seem think all is free; Always looking for that free 'air-drop'

Just like free stimmy-checks to the moon, thank uncle joe

Parents want a better life for their spawn, normally the 16-32 year old crowd is the most easily dominated by bullshit of all humans, children are naturally skeptical of bullshit. People who make it past 40, are skeptical of most bullshit.

They shipped your jobs to China before you were ever born. They have told you all along, by the time you reach 62, there will be no social security.

Like sports, of all who play only a small number become super-stars and make the bucks, and get the chicks

Most young people ( under 30 ) today are living at home with parents, unheard of in USA history. Used to be they kicked you out when you finished highschool, an you never came back.

So what choice do they have? Unless you go to a good school, or have the right connections, impossible to get a job a GOOGLE

Baristsa was the thing a few years ago, but now COVID has killed that

So the only thing possible is CRYPTO, however like eToro says on registration "90% lose their principal the first 30 days of tradiing", so then comes HODL, which is the most evil of all, because they're told to buy into the ponzi, and never cash out.

It's all hopeless, and that is what drives the ponzi, but make no mistake the future of the USA is hopeless. Lockdowns are permanent, the system has no intention of return anything to the way it was before, the likes of GATE & the Billionaries like Musk has always been to keep the poor off the streets, to keep the beaches clean for the elite, and the forest trails.

Greedy, no the system has failed its next generation, 'easy riches' are one of the few escapes.

---

The GOV has been running the Exchanges for a long time, and allowing the scams

Don't ignore the fact that easy takings of cash from weak people is  an alternate to taxing the majority.

The police have long had asset forfeiture upheld by the highest courts, even though the cops just share the money for xmas party's, its  not like it goes charity, or even the general fund.

Now you have every copy shop in the FED gov hosting or fronting these scam's like COINBASE; Your money is stolen, and there is nothing you can do.

The GOV loves this easy money, and especially all branches of law enforcement.

Sure politicians will speak out, and maybe even penalize the honest BTC holders, make clearly understand that the high level criminals are some of the largest contributors, and are already working with the FBI & IRS.

The argument has been the GOV must operate 'silk-road' to find out who the bad buyers and sellers are, in reality as all know all the cocaine & heroin on earth is controlled by the CIA.

I agree with you on the most simple level, but please remember that the places the GOV shuts down will be the good honest operators, the criminal enterprises have already PAID for PROTECTION.

Hell just the other day FBI paid a SiliconValley firm $5M USD cash to management their stolen BTC fund for the Fed's. The same exchanges that steal normal peoples funds everyday.

I think people are always greedy because we have seen different bubbles throughout history. Moreover, thieves, scammers and relentless corruption are the evidences that humankind is not good at all. Even though our morality in the modern world somehow change, it is hard to replace human' natural characteristic.

But who cares? They have to work 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. How can people cope with life if they do not have money? IT is not their faults. It is just the nature of everything. People just want to survive.

I agree with this view.  Everyone has greed from human nature.  Even without bitcoin, they still trample each other in everything, work, life, they envy each other, they fight.  Their purpose is money, social status, classes are bound by the system, they overlap, using all kinds of tricks together just to satisfy their infinite greed.  Many murder cases, appropriation, have also come from that.  Bitcoin is no exception, but it's still more fairness in the damn life in reality.  I'm tired of them.

I don’t think Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies has to do anything with regard to people who are greedy. If a person is greedy, he is really greedy whether he/she has fiat money or cryptocurrencies. And most people want what they can’t afford too because of social media and so when they have a certain amount of money out of trading or whatnot they tend to get greedy and want more.

Being greedy is part of human nature because all of us wish to live a comfortable life and don't have to worry about our future. Because of the gains that cryptocurrencies can give most of us experience this. People who are not greedy enough and only focus on their goals will succeed in crypto space. Some people dream of more gains even if their crypto already increased 1000%. They forgot to take profit thinking that the price they're dreaming for that coin will happen and make them rich.

I agree with you and I too believe that greed is just a natural thing with humans it just so happen now that those of us that have greed now think there is an opportunity to even make quicker money and without thinking of the consequence, go over board in their investment and no reliable target for taking profits. .

I think materialism is about wanting things you don't need to "feel good" or to impress other people. Accumulating wealth is not materialistic, but part of human nature to achieve freedom. Yes, freedom can be interpreted. Some might argue that freedom means the free will we all have to make choices no matter what our circumstances are. IMO we should make a difference between spiritual freedom and financial freedom.

I agree there are many materialistic people in the world and the trend is surely raising with the massive amount of products that are being created and social media boasting. Bitcoin isn't contributing to this though. If you ask me it is quite the opposite. We all know there are people who sell their material stuff (cars,watches, consoles, etc.) to purchase an immaterial form of money.

We can ponder if it is really a matter of greed or of increased financial education and that cryptocurrencies are the way to go forward?

If they forgot to profit when the price reaches the highest price, that would be their mistake and they can not regret it for what they already did.
Before we become greedy, maybe we can control ourselves, so when we feel that we want more profit while the situation is not right, we can know that is because our greediness becomes bigger.
As long as we can know when we should take profit and feel enough for that profit, we can control greediness.

Logically, every man is a pursuiter of happiness (which got be power, love, money, etc) but in the state when there's no genuine equity within the society, politics, place of work, etc. People will be greedier and want to abuse/overuse every opportunity they see and careless about hurting the next neighbor this what affecting the world and also lead to terrorist, online theft, etc.

The world has been much greedier since cryptocurrencies. And the greediness level increased at a so high rate especially in the last one year. Because the market went to the moon and many people also started making investments after seeing this.

The system is likely to control everything unconsciously. People cant either run away from it or fight for their freedom. Ironically, only a few people are capable of realizing how bad the society is and how it is controlled by the system. But as long as our relatives are connected to the system, we will are strongly affected

I can vouch for you that the richest person in the world is not yet satisfied and work hard in getting more not to talk of average people who are trying their best to get what they want and this is not a crime just that the rate and extent at which some people go with this is not right but not everybody.

Lol. World always was greedy. Just remember the gold rush. And then you can find more examples.

I would call it greed, a person seeing that it is possible to earn a little tries to do even more and more and this most often does not lead to good, so bitcoin in cryptocurrency as a whole tends to help people in another way, namely with its technology that facilitates p2p transfers.

correct what you say there is no need to blame Bitcoin for cases like this.
if they realize how much Bitcoin has helped us and everyone because it has changed the economy for the better. It's the simple point, to a much bigger point, that the presence of bitcoin is a reward for anyone who currently owns Bitcoin and is free from the control of any authority..

Sorry to say this but I really think that that kind of thinking is too simple and very childish. With common sense any person in their right mind can be able to understand that greed has nothing to do with anything but the person itself who is greedy. Anything that is placed on the hands of the greedy will surely be taken advantage of and used for greed. But if given to a person that is free from greed, then the same thing can be used differently be it bitcoins, altcoins or fiat. I hope that is easy enough for you to understand.

Maybe yes, but it is human's nature. I am not resist since i know BTC, i keep want more and more. If bitcoin price increased, i am not sell my coins keep holding until i get more. I think that can be called greedy too because people keep want to get highest profit as they can.

We call all agree that the world is full of greedy individuals even way back bitcoin hasn't existed yet. It is a part of the human nature, the desire of wanting much more than we need and getting more regardless of how detrimental it is to others. As bitcoin emerges and becomes successful, at some point people became much more greedy. As they get to know a simple and convenient way to wealth, they end up wanting more and more as time passes by. We cannot deny the fact that bitcoin is actually for greedy people, just be looking at the hodl mindset, we can already see that it is for people who desires for more.

This is like the most interesting piece of news I've read today. What makes you think Bitcoin has got anything to do with being greedy? Isn't that some personal quality, though bad, that is in people individually. A greedy person is a greedy person whether it's with the most cheapest thing in the world or it's with the most expensive thing in the world.
There has always been human beings who are greedy and bitcoin can't change that. That we have greedy people using bitcoin doesn't mean bitcoin caused it.
That everyone is looking for a way to make some extra money doesn't mean everyone is greedy.

There's nothing wrong with that, being financially stable is a must especially these days. Dreaming to be rich is not wrong, staying poor or being contented on what you are not yet complaining but not doing a single thing to change his life is the one that is wrong. Let people do what they wanted to do, let's mind our own business.

People getting greedy on investing their money in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is good for the cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency enthusiast. Stop being greedy like you just want to own the spotlight because you have Bitcoin and others don't have.

the returns and patience of holders especially on bitcoin has made people really want to max out the opportunity and also with altcoins and its bound to happen because at least everyone wants freedom. thats why it seems everyone wants to hold now instead of selling because there is a high possibility of price increase as scarcity increases.

everyone would want to be rich because they do not want to be poor people who have no money, by having a lot of money they can buy something they want this will make their hearts and minds calm and there is no burden on their minds. everyone will want to have fun, that's why they are plunging into the crypto world in search of wealth. I see investing in bitcoin or altcoin that has the potential to make the holders get rich quickly.

You believe that the world has become greedy since BTC ,, don't blame BTC for people's greed, because in essence, greed has happened a long time ago, because all people are matrelialistic, money-making ,, greedy souls will definitely happen to every generation
in my opinion, don't blame btc for the greed of the world, because there are still many bitcoin users who are kind, and like to share their knowledge, and are not greedy, like you said,

Isn't it the situation since the beginning? We just have to be used on this.

And even greediness level seems very high, most people don't have the ability to ride the trend.

Crypto is always meant for investment so it's usual that for every investment, people will expect a high target profit in return.

Being greedy was an emotional state of a person and butcoin has nothing to do with it. What I truly mean was people have already a characteristics of being greedy even before bitcoin was made. But can't deny the fact that bitcoin can trigger the emotional state of these kind of person. Can't deny the fact that bitcoin has a potential to give a person a profit that they are looking for but of course it is based on how the person will work this out. Cryptocurrency or bitcoin was volatile also not so sure that a person can really earn a profit if he/she didn't know how to work it.

Nope.
I believe in this statement.
"-Humans are forever discontented. "

Do you personally think people became greedy because of Bitcoin?
Becoming rich is everybody's dream. I don't believe If someone says they don't wanna be rich.
So, Investing your money to where you think it's a game changer for you doesn't mean you're greedy. That's called being smart with your money.

Not everything is deserving for someone, that's the sad reality mate because one must earn from someone's Losses.
and thats the nature of investing .
Society ? don't exaggerate things because there is not even 10% of the world population knows about bitcoin so how did you come to that idea >

What i see in this post is that you are only making your life problematic , Crypto market is making good and that is what we need to be thankful.

No. In this regard, bitcoin has not affected the world in any way.

Human nature is such that everyone wants material well-being and this is absolutely normal. It can hardly be said that people are now more greedy. Cryptocurrency and the possibility of quick earnings in it attracts primarily the young generation, which does not yet have sufficient material well-being. Apparently, you are just in their environment, and therefore it seems to you that everyone is concerned about cryptocurrency and the opportunities it provides for get rich quick.

It's true human can't get satisfied, everyone wants to be rich and the rich ones want to get richer, well bitcoin has made things more easier and the bull run which is ongoing has made so many people rich already! there is no doubt about it, well it's certain that not everyone will be successful because some people don't just have plans for their selves, outside the crypto space most people waste a lot of money which can be used for something useful forgetting about how tomorrow might be, on the other hand greed is what most traders can't just get rid of, you see someone who made enough profit in a particular trade but wouldn't want to close such trade, looking for more profit till the trade turns against them and there close at lose.

greed is a human trait that has existed since we were born. So if you say that in the presence of bitcoin people become greedy, I don't agree, it is more precisely called sloppy, because they want wealth but they don't know how to be able to get profit when investing.

Absolutely I agree. Cryptocurrencies made people greedy. people invest in this market only in a very short time, with the aim of getting rich without any effort. most of them are losing anyway. the more he loses, the more greedy he becomes. a lot of shitcoin came out. There were many scam projects, scam teams, fraudulent exchange platforms. many people started using this technology for fraud. And because of this, the reputation of crypto currencies started to suffer. confidence decreased.

I mean we all wanted to get reach at the end of the day and get that profit in our investment, but I guess greed is normal and we all get greedy sometimes but it just a matter of discipline as well.

We can really get satisfied as we gain something we just wanted more and more of it, most of the time being greedy would just end up getting wrecked most of the time in the market.

Investing in cryptocurrency or even in the stock market, you should not let your emotion overwhelm you or your greed because most of the time we all get blinded of this dollars sign thinking that one project for example will make us rich, then investing everything you have and end up getting wrecked, if you have discipline you need to think of everything in a project and consider a lot of things before investing a considerable amount of money, but we disregard everything most of the time. It works in some people but if not you just end up losing everything.

As soon as human beings discovered the possibility to harvest stuff (being food, wood, jewels...) to preserve wealth and transfer it greed indeed manifested itself on Earth.
Our hunter ancestors did not have this problems as they lived day by day.
Accumulation combined with greed brought us to a capitalistic society, which is not bad per se, but shows its idiosyncrasies in every aspect of our life. 
Bitcoin has no faults

Governments around the world are printing currency like nuts right now, as shown by furloughs in the United Kingdom and free cash passed out in the United States. When Covid has calmed down, things will return to normal, whatever that entails. Many who invest in crypto currencies are more arrogant because they think they can quickly become rich.

everyone wants to be rich, everyone wants to earn money the easy way. but this is not something everyone can achieve. not everyone has this intelligence, this experience. greed is our worst enemy. greed can cause us a lot of loss. people are very inexperienced and greedy. He immediately sells his house and car and invests in bitcoin, but while doing so, he does so without knowing anything about this market. this is very false. people see this market as an easy money making tool. Of course, there are those who succeed, but it is impossible for everyone to achieve it.

I agree with this point of view so much. People are really much greedier than ever before. We have seen so many people started making investments into Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies. Buying crypto is of course a great thing. It really helps the market grow. But people shouldn't look at cryptocurrencies just as an investment tool. They should be aware of the valuable technologies behind them and how they are preparing to change the world.

people are really greedy. It is not possible for people who are so hungry to earn and who are fond of easy money to get rich altogether. this is an exchange. here someone wins while someone loses it should be like that. this is the nature of this place. this kind of system works. and these greedy people are very likely to lose here. This market is more suitable for people who are patient, strong, determined and calm. The desire to make money the easy way has increased even more with bitcoin. they think this is such a market, but they are very wrong.

That is the reality. people are come into Bitcoin investment not for they can use to buy stuff solely but instead, they will answer you "they want to become rich" and the greediness had to start wanting more and more. It finds no more enough and while the price of Bitcoin goes higher and higher, the more it changes the environment and making people to change their mind to become more hungry of money.

not at the beggining of btc but it starts when btc reach a high price and altcoins following up .
 they see it as a oppurtunity to change how they live because of how fast the value of crypto grows and they cant find it in any other investments .
 if they are greedy at the beggining  it will be hard for them to achieve their dreams of becoming rich .

Right! Human greed is bottomless, especially money. We all want to be rich and have a lot of money. That is also the biggest purpose that we invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin can make people more greedy. If anyone succeeds in investing in Bitcoin, he will quickly become a billionaire. If it were you, would you like it? Only when having money will make your life comfortable, want to buy whatever you like without having to save money.

- Because the excitement is so great, so many people sell their homes and quit their jobs for bitcoin, their ambition is to become a billionaire as the stories have been recorded in the past but they forget that the element of luck is still relatively large in the past. That means that luck has now begun to show signs of decline, an opportunity cannot come to everyone, everyone needs talent to succeed, the world is greedy due to bitcoin but covered with greed are failures and profound lessons for greed

people seeing it as oppurtunity some may only expect profit without thinking high risk behind there . its always happend in something popular. and i think its very common if someone going greedy after experience something they believe could get more bigger than they get before .

It is what it is these days.

And it is because with the high price of bitcoin and we're all now aiming to see it recover until it manage to reach $100k. It can be classified as greed or just a goal and hope that it will be there.

But there's much more for greed when there are newbies who are investing into meme coins that thinks they'll multiply their capital tremendously.

Greed should not be the term but people just want to maximize the opportunity of getting profits in crypto especially in BTC. And for let's say everyone is greedy, it has a positive side as it contributes to the awareness and spreadness of crypto globally. The price rise was also because of people's desire to get the maximum profit they can get by investing in crypto.

We don't need to think if other people are like that. We should just mind our own business.

You are so so negative. You mentioned that everyone wants to get rich. I assume that includes the tribal chief I know living in Papua New Guinea, oh, and the great Cordilleran tattoo artist who lives in the mountains of Luzon. Even my parish priest wants to get rich too. If you talk about everyone wants to get rich and then title it with world becoming greedier, then I think that world hasn't happened yet. Maybe in another parallel universe "everybody" becomes greedier and we might be seeing the likes of Mad Max dystopia, where the poor greedily fights for whatever resources are left at their disposal or whatever resources are being given by their overlords. Anyway, I should use the word "some" but not "everybody", for that means all peoples.

Nothing is wrong with wanting to earn more money, and gaining a lot of profit. But sure, I can say that many people are getting greedy, since they're making 'easy' money from bitcoin, they want bitcoin price to go higher and even higher so they can gain more profit. Nothing wrong with that though, of course everyone want money. But one thing I don't like is that, when they become too greedy and don't know how to stop, when the price go down they will go crazy and blaming everything on other nonsense reasons. In fact, if they're not too greedy and taking the profit at decent amount, it will be great enough, but they can never be satisfied, thus it only bring them to fall.

Greed is a permanent category that has always been. Bitcoin is just another example of how a person quickly goes crazy when something in his hands quickly rises in value. It's like a gold rush, as we remember then, most of the money was earned not by those who were looking for gold, but by those who sold them shovels. I think that similar analogies can be made here too. You need to calmly treat any type of earnings, especially if it is an investment.

For me everything has been changed because of how fast things are on the internet,
People became greedier, lazier , and of course smarter I think we have been overwhelmed by how easy things has been because of the technology and it is the result of it all.

The idea of Satoshi for creating Bitcoin is not the to get rich but to have your own bank where you can control your money flow and not some banking system that eventually will take your whole hard earned money. But we can't blame other people for wanting money or to get rich which is greedy I think since some of them are obviously trying to get rich but there are people who can do everything with the use of their money and if you lack of knowledge in this market, you will be eaten by these big whales.

That's why it's reasonable to take your time to learn everything in this market so that you can't be easily eaten by them. I would say some of these people aren't really greedy it's just that they know what they do that's why they gained some profit.

It's not the world but certain people within in. It just happens you're now becoming aware of it but the world has always been greedy and BTC has given lots of people hope. Many have realised this and started capitalising - this isn't so bad. The whole planet will soon catch on so might as well be among the first ;P and yeah, not everybody can be a winner in such market conditions

World was already greedy. I don't see that many people greeding into crypto. A lot of them still think it is to late or just don't get it or got burned last time and rather not engage.
Maybe being in crypto it's more in your face. But it's the same and maybe worse elsewhere be it crypto, real estate or stocks. Probably the worst greed is in stocks. IPOs being sold to moms and pops that are triple A rated by the SEC but their books are a mess and they're not really worth anything at all because they need a constant supply of loans to keep functioning. High-growth is an illusion, it's all debt fueled.
At least in crypto, you know it's a shitcoin and people don't really beat around the bush pretending it is more than that.

Wait, you forgot that many had suffered losses because of being greedy. They'll think that they can make an instant return in here, they got rushing, jumping on the boat that they never know is likely they are helping themselves to lose their money. But, we have to accept these changes, it is a part of technology upgrade and people would find themselves comfortable with this change.

No, not everyone already joined BTC investment or trading. Even for BTC holders, not each of them is greedy with their BTC assets. The term of greedy is for a holder only for those who have too much desire to be a rich person. While for the holder that only uses BTC for their asset with realistic purpose/goal, I think we cannot call them greedy ones.

Dont know on why they do really took the blame with Btc on being greedy and not to mind that greed is always been part even before this crypto market had existed.

Come to think into those traditional markets and investments that we do have in fiat.People does still being a greedy fella and ask for more profits or money in regards on what theyve been dealing on.

So its not just right to took the blame that people becomes even more greedier on Bitcoin existence.Its a part of human nature and someone does need to control it.

That's the purpose of technology, to make things much easier for us to do our tasks, I would've said that we didn't got greedier but given the latest shenanigans pulled by Elon and observing the childish reactions of the people after the fact, I do think that we got greedier.

Not only this Crypto market. Wherever where the human environment wants to get rich and earn a lot of money. I myself, too. I participated in the flesh because I wanted to earn a lot of money and quickly. Really Crypto is new and has a lot of associations to cum more money when the Bull Run is taking place. And I don't like you and everyone wants to be rich with the Crypto market as well as Bitcoin

greed is one of the human animal traits, for thousands of years we have heard for ourselves how human greed.  starting from gold, land, property, oil and many more cannot be separated from human greed, and now Bitcoin.

In today's crypto market we are looking at how greedy humans try to get rich overnight by making shitcoin that is only 1 week to 1 month old.  for others, don't fall into the shitcoin trap that promises extraordinary ROI or promises the next Bitcoin or Dogeshitcoin!

Because it has an impact on many technological advancements, everyone's goal is to make rich on things they don't truly need.
What they've seen in others is what drives them to want more, even if it doesn't satisfy them. All opportunities have been squandered owing to greediness from failure of expectations, just as they had been in the prior difficulties I experienced.

Remember why Bitcoin was created? As a response to the bailout of a bank during the financial crisis. If there was ever greed at horrifying levels in the world, it was already there before Bitcoin existed. 2007!

Not the greedy world but the greedy inhabitants of the world since the price of bitcoin is very expensive, in fact they are not interested in bitcoin but they are interested in the price of bitcoin, which is caused by their greedy nature (want to get rich quick).  Whatever is placed in the hands of the greedy will surely be exploited and used for greed.  But if given to someone free from greed, then the same thing can be used differently be it bitcoin, altcoin or fiat.  May we be included in the part of people who are greedy, who justify any means to fulfill their lustful desires.

It's true until some extent because there are many people who thing crypto or bitcoin is a money making scheme or a get rich quick strategy.
This is usually because of the high returns bitcoin has given over the past few years.
But at the same time there are also many people who think crypto is a scam or fake or used only for illicit activities.
So I think that the world has all kind of people whether it be greedy or paranoid.

Anyone with endless greed usually they don't want to stop at a certain level. I have also never denied that I am not greedy, for example BTC is up $60k and I want it to go up and even higher. This is in all of us because in reality everyone wants to gain more for themselves and it is never enough.

All of bitcoin investors and speculators want to bitcoin to only grow as this means it is widely accepted and leads to higher demand and results in price rise. Bitcoin has definitely changed the way things it used to work before as well open a new horizon to think now and invest in this as well rather than conventional asset classes.

Almost everyone expects more from cryptocurrencies since BTC is well-known and its price keeps going up until it reaches thousands of dollars for just 1 BTC. who is not tempted by the benefits that can be obtained if investing in Bitcoin or in other altcoins when prices are still low.

But many people do not understand about the risks that will occur. The risk in cryptocurrencies is huge because the volatility is very high. The assets owned will remain but the value will certainly decrease or increase. Rapid price fluctuations make Crypto a digital asset investment medium that is profitable for those who know it and will be detrimental for those who do not know what to do.

Many traps and scam projects in cryptocurrency, do not only look at the profits to be obtained, but also have to take into account the losses that could occur.
Being a smart user will save our investment.

btc is not the same as fiat and should not be confused as they are very different.
as for the greedy problem, every human being certainly has such a nature and it has become human nature to be greedy but here there are those who still have limits and some are not and we cannot avoid this even though it can be avoided but there are times when everyone can be greedy in their own way each

Bitcoin grows its popularity that leads more to its adoption and along with this is also its price increase. The higher its value settles, the more poular it become. And because of this, the nature of the people being greedy started to grown too. Everyone wants to accumulate bitcoin more than what others have because the bigger amount of bitcoin you have, the higher the value of profits you will gain.

And since then, people have become more greedy. It's the mindset of the people that made them greedy and not  bitcoin alone. Because bitcoin in the real sense encourages more freedom and financial independence and being greedy is out of its picture.

Bitcoin was created to ease the selling, buying of merchants or goods, even transfer of money around the globe,

beside, BTC has given everyone a chance to earn, specially who have knowledge,

However, some others, who tasted financial freedom, didn't satisfy their self, and wanted to keep and get more BTC, to secure their future.




 

Perhaps most people begin to contact the currency because I heard that it can bring huge benefits, people are yearning for freedom of wealth, is the nature of human greed, I don't think because the currency so that they become like this, so it is human nature, but we can never be just profits and not losses, people's desire is strong, But we need a clear understanding to better grasp the timing, so that we will not be frightened by the temporary market turmoil.

Before BTC, the world is already greedy. Look at Silicon Valley for instance. They are very successful in that region and the tech companies keep expanding like facebook and google that they are buying lands displacing the locals in the area. These locals are forced to buy or rent a place at a high rate.

With BTC, the greed is so much visible because the supply is very limited to 21M while the population in the world is about 8Billion, its sure not enough for all and you can see a single person have more than 5K BTC. The whales are spreading fud and then grab the coins from you with weak hands.

I also think that Bitcoin is not the cause of greed, because not everyone who buys Bitcoin becomes greedy. It depends on how everyone controls
the greed that exists in humans, because greed has existed since humans were born. It's a natural thing that exists in every human being, so Bitcoin
can't be blamed for making some people greedy. Therefore, there are basic rules that we must obey so that we can avoid greed when investing in Bitcoin.

Just now that i come across this Place and yeah looks like improvement is contagious and the place is going high tech

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley

But if this will take away the rights of the people then this is nothing but a BS place.

and the volatility is luring people from being a good person to greedy one and that is indeed what is happening .

all living in this world are all greedy, from government, people, big companies, even rich people, so I don't agree if you say that since there was btc the world has become greedy, the proof is that before btc existed this world was greedy, the rich oppressed the poor, the government oppresses its own people, what is the reason you say the world has become greedy since btc..

When Facebook, Google, and Apple expand, they buy up acres and acres of land where people are going to be displaced because the city mayor had to sell them. Many residents of course protested but these are powerful companies already. You can literally see the homelessness in this part particularly in Bayarea where tents liters.

Now with digital currency, also expands the gaps between rich and poor. You might also end up selling the BTC you have in panic when the whales are dumping their coins as bear market comes.

True, greed has always been there but since the existence of Bitcoin, people have now found a new investment that can supposedly make them satisfy that greed quicker.
This is no longer news, people have seen cryptocurrencies as a means to getting rich quicker and satisfying the greed that's already in them so it is not BTC that's is causing the greed but just a way people believe they can make money quicker to satisfy their want even more.

We as a species is inherently greedy, and no we didn't become greedier because of bitcoin, the population just popped really high that's why the feeling of the world becoming greedy is just amplified. Bitcoin is just a medium so it's up to the people that uses it how they wsnt to be perceived.

I believe that with the arrival of BTC and other cryptocurrencies on the market, nothing has changed much with people. Even before BTC and crypto, people also sought to make money and become rich, they just used other tools to achieve their goal. For example, such directions as MLM or HYIP. They also collected a lot of money and many also lost their investments. So with the arrival of BTC and crypto on the market, people were already obsessed with making a profit, and cryptocurrencies just opened up new avenues for this.

- Population is also really part of making us feel more cramped and scarce, assets become more expensive and we also feel more greedy to seek comfort in life but we should also include bitcoin in this impact, maybe not the entire world population but a certain part is also changing through bitcoin because so many rich phenomena have appeared here, even many people without knowledge want to participate, it is enough to understand the gravity of the bitcoin story

He didn't say that BTC has more to do with greed. You just only read the title and replied. Come on, it only takes 10 seconds to read the damn thing.

Anyway, to the OP, the world Sadly is way more materialistic than ever lately, and even more opportunistic and individualistic, which is certainly going to bring negative results. The outcome will be a worse society for the next generation. It's all about grabing the money fast enough right now.

The world changed a little when the first money appeared, especially when it became more compact and it became possible to accumulate wealth. However, little has changed since that time. Greed for money - physical or virtual, in my opinion, has always been and is. The cryptocurrency market is not simple enough. Here you need to know a lot and be able to do a lot. Greed often interferes with making a good profit, because here you need to perform certain actions correctly and on time.

I think not everyone wants to get rich from crypto, many also just want to be free from the shackles of banks...

To be honest, wanting to be rich is human because of our ever-increasing needs. but expect to get rich from Bitcoin in a short time it is not possible. For those who are new to investing in crypto, don't think about getting rich instantly from Bitcoin.

it is undeniable that on average everyone expects profits to be able to make a lot of money from Bitcoin.  This is natural, because Bitcoin is able to provide opportunities for all of us to be able to generate profits by being traded or used as an investment.  the nature of one's greed will appear by itself, let alone related to money, then in any way he will do it to enrich himself

Where did you read that since crypto currencies were invented, people wanted to become rich faster? People always wanted to be rich "fast" for centuries. People didn't get greedier. They are just looking for more opportunities to get rich faster. Aren't you doing the same? Trying to become financially solvent is what always people wanted. The faster one can be, the better it is for them. Don't you want to become solvent as soon as possible? Does that make you greedy? Nope.

wrong it is greedier mate because if not then they will be contented to take at least 10% of growth but since they have seen the opportunity to make higher then they become greedier and always seeking for high and high.

You are obviously very young and have little historical knowledge of the Financial world....
Try taking a look at the 1980's and the financial shenanigans that occurred on Wall St and other sectors of the economy. Remember Junk Bonds? They were very similar to the ICO/Tokens crapcoins of today and just as risky (largely worthless). Going further back you will find that throughout all history the same shit has been happening.

In short: Nothing new. Different day, different way, but still just greedy people doing what they do.

BTC or any other crypto is not necessarily required for the world to be greedier because the world was greedy as it is greedy now. You can say it is greedier because the amount of greedy individuals has increased but this is not only because of the cryptos. Everybody wants to be financial freedom and for a long time the world was after money so BTC changed nothing.

Normal human being behavior on where we do always look for the best or possible that could earn more than on what we had in the past which i can say that its part of the instinct and also being greedy is part
of investment but it shouldnt really be tolerated because this is really a very bad behavior and also if Crypto or Bitcoin didnt exist on the first place then we might be still stuck in forex and stocks trading or investment.
Its just good that this market exist because it did really give the opportunity to earn more but of course the risk had been doubled due to volatility but somehow people are really willing to take risk.
Greed in the sense of making too much steps without minding about the risk is on someones own personal error or mistake.

BTC or not, people have been always greedy since its in our nature, i think that in our current time people are highly connected, so people seeing others how they are living in luxury and have a lot of money and they just want to live like them so they try in any way to get to that state, and i think bitcoin has made it easier for us to do so, at least not until recently, because you see how the price changes by a couple of thousands in a matter of hours, and making millions from such a change is possible, so that is probably why people have gotten more greedy with bitcoin.

Bitcoin brings a lot of opportunities in life that will make us feel financial independence and so people out from its greediness grasp every opportunity that comes along. But IMO, not all the time that people become greedy, it's just that they are smart enough to invest in a new innovation that has a bright future ahead compared to those traditional one.

There is nothing wrong with bitcoin because it even help us to improve our own economy and even the world economy. The government might have misinterpret bitcoin and think that bitcoin will be the source of all greediness in every person.

You aren't the only one who has noticed the current state of affairs in our society. Most people right now, especially when crypto gained the attention of many people because of its bull run, have invested their whole savings and hope to profit from the current situation of crypto. Well, I can't blame them because it's an opportunity to develop, but the others are simply attempting to cash in on the buzz by investing heavily without considering the risks. I've noticed that they're impatient and gamble all of their money without making a proper judgment or considering the consequences of their actions.

We don't get satisfied. Bitcoin or Blockchain Technology opened up so many opportunities, if this could help up attain our financial freedom, why not use it?

I don't tolerate illicit activities. we still have to work to get something. Wanting material things could help us operate efficiently and have much easier life.

the amount of greed humans possess is immesurable, even though bitcoin is not discovered humans will find another resource that they will would love to monopolize and deplete to the point of non extinction. such is the way of humans bitcoin is just another resource for humans to abuse and monopolize.

The world has always been like this, even before crypto, everyone wants more money, fame and power, it's not something new. Btc is just there to make the process more transparent, corruption free and to make people who actually deserves to be rich, but yeah, thousands of investors did get imvolve in crypto after they saw the rising trends on crypto but then again they would just invest in something else had there not been bitcoin :)
