Has the world become greedier since BTC?

[Altcoinsintel]

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?

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.

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.

We cannot say greedier, everyone wants to earn and they are spending the their time and money just to ensure they have a bright future as BTC seems to be easy money for everyone. At the end people are trusting BTC and relying over it as their future savings. Hope everyone benefits

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.

[blckhawk]

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.

[FastestTortoise]

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
