RE: Liberland Is Everything Roger Ver Wants, But Not What Roger Ver Needs
Much of what you say is true, but you also mistake trends for absolutes.
"Everyone is shilling their own stake and fudding the one that threatens it. This is the raw truth about the world and it should be a no brainer. Every single system on this planet is aimed to help some and fuck someone else. No system aims to aid everyone because that will be the antithesis of what value is and how it comes to be."
@cryptopie proves this is only partially true. Helping him aided almost no one financially, except him, who needed it.
Altruism is a thing. Of course we advocate for issues that we feel will benefit us, but finance is NOT the only reason. I cannot comment on Ver or Berwick, as I have little familiarity with them, but I can also see that some of what Berwick has done was without financial benefit to him, as his interview with a Cuban dissenter shows.
We are not bots. We do not run on money. Some people are so plugged into money there is almost no revelation of humanity in their actions, yet, even they bleed when pricked.
Back off the absolutes, and you will be absolutely right.
Regardless of whether you agree with me or not, I still appreciate the sentiment behind this post, as you are spot on in your assessment of the utility of BTC, including it's centralized nature.
Thanks!
Altruism is not a thing. Only selfishness exists. Every single thing you do, even an altruistic act aims to benefit you first (e.g emotionally, socially). The only altruism that exists in nature is reciprocal altruism and it is only displayed in a handful of species like vampire bats. They feed the young of other bats, not their own. if they don't their young die. This is as close to "altruism" as nature gets.
Bullshit. Learn this "There is no such thing as bad fame". Also over the years he pulled off so many scams and said so much bullshit, you can't possibly only retain the most recent actions. This is like believing only what a politician sais today, forgetting the past.
We do. This is why you are mainly here and not Facebook. because of money.
We all strive to survive by benefiting ourselves with things like money, socialisation etc. Money though is at the top of the least. I am not saying that socializing doesn't matter. All i am saying is that it dictates everything else. always.
You are wrong, and I am proof.
I have never spent one satoshi of Steem, and have no plans to. I am unidentified, and get no personal benefit from discussing this with you.
I learn much from many on Steemit.
But I am not here for money, fame, or any personal encomium. I am certainly not making this comment for my benefit, but yours. You are blinded by what you see, and do not see that people can do good, for goodness sake.
I am not here for money. I am here to speak the truth, and this benefits me, as you are sure to point out.
But you are 100% wrong about money, and me.
