I firmly believe Satoshi did not develop the Bitcoin protocol for profit. Venture out of this sub forum. You'll find some of the top developers discussing their great ideas openly. If there is a real cost involved in moving something forward, people will see value in the idea and will support it in any way they can.
If someone can build further or contribute in any way, it's pretty much always accepted.
You apparently don't grasp this concept.
And you still live in a world of idealism. Which means you are under the age of 26, maybe a touch older if your slightly behind. Probably never had to work or fight for anything in your life. Never worked in the cutthroat corporate world. Never been truly scammed for anything substantial. Never came to the realization that all people do all things all the time because they benefit from it. And yes *shocking revelation* even giving your sandwhich to that bum on the street was done for self gratification and to fill a basic self serving need.
Stop me when I'm wrong.
Firstly, you don't know me.
Secondly, the benefit comes from what Bitcoin truly offers, and it's not about getting rich. Idealism? Sure. Bitcoin was founded on an ideology that enables us to be free from entities that are destroying our financial systems. Aside from that, as someone that is in a different country almost weekly, Bitcoin is a currency without borders, and that appeals to me.
Either way, good luck.
