I would say 95% are motivated by money than other stuffs.  Money is everything. There are few seen rarely to be generous in giving out / helping out money to needy. But majority goes for money even  though he or she is already well settled. Hence do not say people are not motivated with money. When you have money and have loving heart, you own the world. I felt it within.
You are still left with a big population of the world who are not motivated by money however a mater of fact is that almost all if not few out there wants to earn as much as possible. This is the assumption of a model in economics that any individual who is in the market prefers more.

Bitcoin is used for so many purposes but I have not seen anyone on this forum talking about the advantages of Bitcoin other than profit and making money. The sole motivation is the money.

I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG

Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them.  Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.

True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.

Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)
I don’t really know what to say about this, but if they are not motivated by money, there will always be a need for money. Money answers all things. Let’s take for example that you’re an engineer or a scientist, you won’t be able to produce or make any research if there are no funding available for you to do so. So money is always important. And yes, money is never the motivation, but the purpose is always to make money.

People are motivated by money in just diefferent terms.

Yes people may motivated by their family to work and do it hard.
But why they do that? they want to work hard or do a successful business to gain MONEY and have a good future for their loved ones.

In my point of view, all of you stated about was true cavemen do not care about money because money is not yet invented before they trading, planting and hunting are the works of old people in the old ERA. However, this millenial days you can not survive without any money. Let we say, we did not motivate to work if they will not pay us. We did not apply for work for free we also need a compensation to support our financial needs.

Truth is that there is some people motivated with money and some that are not. So there are different motives for success in people, saying that it it is not motivated by money is true in some cases
I am not totally disagree with your opinion, but as you can see without the money do you think we can actually survive in this world? The food, water and also shelter we needed everyday is not actually free. Even the government can't actually provide for those people who actually needed some help. That's why we are all motivited by money in order to help ourselves not to become helpless in the future.

It can be true, but I'm not fully agree with that. In the past money perhaps isn't the major thing for scientist's life, but the world now says different thing. Many of them are concerned on how to make good money even some of them are truly dedicate their life for knowledge. So, it depends on their own motivation.
not unmotivated with money, we all know that money is a basic need of every human being, but human beings have a deprived nature and therefore they are always looking for more.

i think people who are not motivated by money are spiritual people. they feel enough, don't even need money. it is different with trade, where the main goal is to seek profits in form of money

While basically money should be a means to live, money has become a goal at the present time. The exceptions are very few. The majority focused on making money.

I cannot agree completely with your saying that people are not motivated by money. While some people are not motivated by money, several other people are motivated by money. Some people are born innovators and they spend their day trying to have something named after them while other only need money to survive.

but IMHO , money right now is the main idea why people do their job , but yeah not all people like that , but majority are like that and that real happens
Yes that is the truth of today.Money brings happiness to the people because if you have money,you can buy all the goods and services you want.And without having enough money today,you can barely survive in this world.
Definitely, money is now the basis of people of having a perfect life, if you huge amount of money everything are now attainable for you. Some of them are using money to solve their problem. Nowadays, money has a big impact, if you don't have any of it then everyone will criticize you as hindrance for them and that is the sad reality.

Anyone that criticizes others for not having money are really disturbed people, they will have a rude awakening when they are about to die and realize in the end money really doesn't mean anything.

This is not the whole story. In fact, I tend to think that you are oversimplifying things here as no one goes for money itself, I mean, exclusively for multiplying their bank account balance. There are some crooks and perverts, of course, but in general people want money because they want things which can be bought with it. But that would be a completely different matter. For example, if you want money to raise your kids and give them proper eduction, I don't see how you are going to regret this "in the end".

Ironically, what I said doesn't seem fully applicable to cryptocurrencies as there are enough people who consider themselves long term holders or "hodlers", as they proudly call themselves, and whose sole purpose consists in increasing the number of coins they possess. And in this case specifically, your words may make perfect sense after all.

that was in the holding days. nowadays people are motivated with money. if you have an employee you pay 20k every month for one year immediately you increase the salary by 20%. the system of work would change immediately. So in Bitcoin if people are making money on their investment it will motivate them to invest more.

Many "true" scientists like Tesla started their careers as almost beggars and were forced to do some extra jobs to earn their living.
When one has to constantly think about his and his family's bread and butter, scientific research becomes less productive, so in this way money helps geniuses to focus solely on their inventions.

What you stated is actually partly true but not the case for everyone. All people are not the same. There might be many kind of things/activities that motivates people. But there is one common thing that motivates everyone. This is called "happiness". It is actually the key factor of motivation. For some people "money" might bring happiness to some extent, but eventually after having enough money (and buying all his happiness) he might stop pondering around money. Hence, money won't be motivating him to do anything anymore since he already has everything.

Not all people are the same. It is true that other people are not motivated by money. But there are also many people that work hard because of money. They want to earn money to give their family a better life.

This is a divided stand. On a normal situation when people may not need money, everything doesn't have to priced. On the other hand it would be easy to do things with money. This idea can be proven by events happening in the real world. Look at how corruption becomes an almost fulltime job for them.  This is just a clear proof that money is a motivation.

Well i think the same way, although not all people are being motivated by money but majority of them are being motivated by money, as of this mordern times, money can do everything, it is the powerful thing that we must have in order for us to survive.

People always motivated by money. Like all other industries, people run after money and find ways to make money. There is one person who says "money not at all, but people take to do it all for money." Do not think you do not need money because everything is money.
