This could motivate us If greed & individualism motivate the capitalists

This could motivate Bitcoiners who choose such bitcoin-compatible economic ideal to work hard and be productive since lots of people were programmed or taught to respect people who pile up riches for themselves in fiat world,which motivates them to work hard to be rich.

I do not respect those people who the OP post about, I see them as greedy parasites, I dont
want to be like them either.

We have a saying here Contentment is wealth.

Life is all about balance. The opposite of being greedy is being content.

I am content to be able to accumulate Bitcoin at my own pace for myself and my family and
with the help of Bitcoin I have achieved a very healthy work life balance for a more balanced
life. Yea I could work more and be a slave again to the business class but there would be an
imbalance and life is way too short for that.

Why should you follow a poor lifestyle if you are wealthy? It doesn't make sense to me. I'll also tell you one thing. If you live a poor lifestyle but benefit society a lot, you'll simply suffer and in the end, no one will appreciate your efforts. Just look at multi billionaire businessmen who don't appreciate their own workforce, they are still praised by the society (Jeff Bezos for example and his attitude towards amazon workers).
No, my opinion is to enjoy the life at its fullest. You can do good things but your own self should be the priority because in the end, your good efforts will barely be appreciated.

You know one thing with the society, if you have billions in your name and they don't see that millions on you, they are not going to value you, they will not respect you and they may see you as someone that is poor when in fact you can take care of them. The world functions when they see you have something and the better way you can demonstrate it is when you show them that you have it and that's the only way you can penetrate through plenty of opportunities.

I don't care what the world thinks, if I have money I will live the life as it fit my financial status, if I have the money I will get the best life for myself and I have nothing, I will not pretend that I have an asset. The way OP describe wealthy people should leave like they have nothing, the same way some people fake life, they don't have what they claimed they have, that's what the common social media is about today, fake lifestyle.

In a typical capitalist setting, the more properties you pile up for yourself the more you are respected (or even worshipped) .. So people work hard to have this things in order to be respected

Take a chill pill now, the goal is to be financially free (financially independent) but not to oppress others or try to be greedy by thinking like the capitalist. There isn't going to be any difference if the Bitcoin wealth generation turn out to be the same like those of the capitalist economy. In searching for financial freedom your focus should be on investing into yourself both financially and in education so as to be well spoken and financially backed then you render help to others instead of forcing your authority on them as the capitalist will do. Greediness should not be your motivation for investing in Bitcoin, seeking for respect and admiration shouldn't be your trigger but instead you should be moved by wanting to impact life as that is a better reason for wanting to be financially bouyant.
