In philosophy there is what is called argumentum ad miserecordiam which is referred to as a type of fallacy that appeals to mercy and pity rather proof and facts. This is a logical fallacy that you think you would win an argument without any proof or evidence but by making the other person feel pity for you and grant your request.
In a case where you are  expected  to carry out a task not because the task is the right thing to do but rather because someone will feel bad if you don't..

I took out some time to think of the connection of this fallacy with Bitcoin and of course I got the clarification that I needed, firstly I can clearly say that Bitcoin  can be referred to as anti-ad Misericordiam money why because it simply points us to the logic of Bitcoin and not our emotions, so i can say Bitcoin was designed to remove argumentum ad mesiricudiam from money, that's why you can not simply ban Bitcoin because your friend or brother lost there funds in crypto because you can lose money even in stocks,  bitcoin does not really care about your experiences, it doesn't freeze your account simply because it wants to impress someone else, it really cannot be controlled by someone's feelings or emotions.

What money out there points to emotion instead of logic? Bitcoin may be designed to operate without making exceptions based on individual circumstances, but that is not the same thing as Bitcoin eliminating argumentum ad misericordiam from money. It just make the settlement of transactions independent of emotional appeals and as far as I'm concerned that's literally how money works and mind you the modern cash we have today started as a paper contract, even today the cash is still a paper contract that is backed by an actual resource, like gold for when the dollar was at its peak and the oil and other resources if the naira has been done right.
I can argue that because I lost money to bitcoin that it should be banned, this is based on my emotions and it cannot stand because bitcoin itself didn't do anything to me, your 'argumentum ad misericordiam' argument doesn't make sense with bitcoin or money in general.

Whatever comparison you may feel to compare bitcoin you should always know that bitcoin is similar to paper money or fiat that we are generally using. There have been lot of people that has been scammed with fiat currency or dollar as the case may be, but that doesn’t lead to total ban or putting an end of bitcoin, but instead the use of money kept spreading. If you are scammed for being careless with your fiat or bitcoin, that doesn’t mean that bitcoin or fiat would be put to an end. The thing there is, you should be more careful with your security and the things you do jumped around because there are scammers both in bitcoin and fiat money the major thing is for you to take proper precautions or your security and investment.

so i can say Bitcoin was designed to remove argumentum ad mesiricudiam from money, that's why you can not simply ban Bitcoin.

More like free agent but remember bitcoin do everything that fiat do then with additional benefit of decentralised nature. For example, you can lose your bitcoin just like money too. They say quantity of money can move from one person to another and defining the person as being rich or poor. So likewise bitcoin. You can be rich with bitcoin with the amount you have through investment and you can also be poor in bitcoin. The point is with bitcoin, there are special security protection. They are the decentralised attributes which are privacy and control, open source, sovereign, finite supply etc. Bitcoin is digital currency that is used as assets for hedge against inflation.

This just reminds me how bitcoin behaves sometimes as if it is aware that you have invested. Once you buy bitcoin that's when the market starts fluctuating negatively and immediately you sell, the market starts going up; until you remind yourself that it is still possible that it will rice back up or fall back later. I sometimes think if I'm the only one that feels that way like bitcoin is monitoring me... Bitcoin does not care about your emotions, it goes its way regardless of what you want of it.

This is why it is very important to have a decision, to know what you want and go accordingly because if you don't behave according to goal in bitcoin, you will end up losing money continuously. You can see someone who has lost money in bitcoin, the first question you should ask yourself is, how long was this person able to hold his bitcoin? Was it a long term investment or a fast money seeker who persistently monitored the chart to reap a fast profit and got caught up in losses.

Bitcoin has no life in it so it has no emotions and it doesn't care about anyone's emotions. If you don't do it rightly, you will still end up failing or not making the best decisions with your bitcoin.

it doesn't freeze your account simply because it wants to impress someone else, it really cannot be controlled by someone's feelings or emotions.
If you practice self-custody, Bitcoin is held in your wallet addresses on the Blockchain, but if you use CEX, then it's when you've an account with them. CEXs can freeze your account to impress the government or favour AML policies, so you regain at their mercy since they're in total control of funds serve to the address they issued you. To harness the total ownership of Bitcoin, you'll practice self-custody. #NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR COINS

You can choose to call bitcoin by any grammar you wish as long as it's still interpret the same benefit we are all enjoying to deep by its adoption, there are many opportunity to discover about bitcoin and that is why some are not getting to know all these because they are less aware of the relevance bitcoin has come to serve the entire universe, don't be moved by the way some may call it because not everybody has the same approach to what you already know concerning Bitcoin, everything still works down towards the protocol that the Bitcoin network was built upon, which are serving us enough benefits.

What you've said makes a lot of sense, but if we look closely, is there any system that rewards based on pity? The fiat system rewards based on social status, hard/smart work, connection, etc—the world is not as kind as to say reward is given because of pity or a sob story.

The construct that comes close (but not entirely) instead is meritocracy: where it rewards based on your input and hard work without favouritism. I feel this best depicts the philosophical nature of Bitcoin—after all, that's what Bitcoin wanted: equal opportunity for all, but in reality, especially in the economical part, it isn't exactly so. Things like early adopters and those with huge financial advantage tend to gain more from the system.

P.S: Although I said meritocracy is the closest way to describe Bitcoin, it still doesn't satisfy Bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn't just reward merit since it doesn't care if you gained you Bitcoin by accumulating for years or you inherited it. So I'd say Bitcoin provides equal opportunity without promising equal outcome
