Profit driven, Amerocentric companies built this tower (now rubble). It’s time to rebuild it the correct way

The problem with business ethics is that it is a contradiction. What is good for business is normally unethical & what is ethical is usually bad for business
The concept of business ethics is a deceptive way of convincing the general populace that businesses can be held to ethical standards & would face consequences for a breach of that contract; however, in practice, those who enforce the punishments are ironically influenced by the businesses to sweep things under the rug

Interesting.
Impossible to define would mean that humans do not have any construct for understanding. Greater good, in this scenario is an effect/result. Quite a defined result. Greater, meaning more than n=1. Good, meaning positive impact. Greater good, meaning positive impact for more than 1. You claiming, "the reason I keep those words in quotes is because they are impossible to define", is your personal opinion or could represent an unwillingness to define the phrase to justify your original stance.
>therefore ripe for abuse by so called altruistic actors
Why is altruism looked at as a pejorative here? Altruism really just means taking an action without thinking of how you'd individually gain something from the action. Actions can be benign. Actions can be benevolent & lead to the individual gaining nothing. Actions can be benevolent AND also lead to the individual gaining something in the end. Taking this last scenario & using that end result as plausible deniability to shoehorn speculated motive is how society wants you to see altruism. Correlation is not causation. Not every interaction between humans needs to be transactional & zero sum
Appeal to the societal norms or authorities at your own peril.
I appreciate your discourse Source. Would love to talk in person about some of this some day...

I’m confused how you conclude that self interest can align with “greater good”. Self interest as a motive, definitionally is the opposite of the greater good

I understand you are trying to address a particular deplorable act, but I will say more generally, yet concisely:
All human suffering is perpetrated by other humans who don’t respect the fact that:
possibility of an action =/= obligation to carry out said action

2026-10-06 14:29:03 UTC

- reply

I’m assuming you meant ‘self interest and “greater good” can’t* align’. And if this is the case, I’d say this is another case of boiling decision making into a false dichotomy
Is it not altruism for bitcoin core (or any other implementation) maintainers to sacrifice higher salaries to work on bitcoin? Who are they virtue signaling to? For example, the whole time where knots proponents were saying “core maintainers don’t even hold/own bitcoin”, it showed me that many can’t fathom that a person could bring themselves to work on something because it truly interests them (rather than enriches them). Maintainers care about the longevity of the network health with the goal to have bitcoin recognized as the best human construct we can use as immutable information (aka hard money standard)
Austrian economics is nice to understand, but it was also established over 100 years ago & relies on a specific set of assumptions that no longer apply today given our globalized reliance on other humans that don’t “align” ideologically

2026-10-05 19:47:55 UTC

You can tell the integrity of someone in the bitcoin ecosystem by listening to how they talk about bitcoin:
Those who primarily talk about the price or maximum stacking of sats are selfish & generally lack integrity. Why? Because they only care about a comfortable future for them & their families (Primary driver is comfort [financial] )
Those who primarily talk about the network are altruistic & generally have strong integrity. Why? Because they personally sacrifice to bring a better freedom of information medium that cannot be compromised (Primary driver is agency [freedom] )

This.
Ideas are just a sequence of words (human concepts & iterations). It is absurd for someone to claim they own a sequence of words just as it would be absurd for someone to claim they own the days of the week.
This absurdity is rooted in tribalism/ego & is straight up selfish. I’d argue that humans would flourish beyond our wildest imaginations if we shared EVERY idea as open source, since everyone benefits at the same rate with efficiencies gained from good ideas (and conversely, everyone learns the same lessons from bad ideas)

Most people are depressed these days because they outsourced their thinking and take advice from strangers on the internet.
Conversely, the happiest individuals are extremely present in their physical environment and do things for experiences rather than rely on someone else’s advice

Beware of people who have opinions on every nuanced topic. A wise person knows when to stay silent, especially when they are out of their depth of knowledge about a given topic.
Conversely, beware of “experts” also. Their ego feeds on “correcting the record”, since in their mind they are the authority on the given topic.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness”
- Declaration of Independence
When said government uses safety as a means to rob you of happiness, it is imperative to resist that government in all aspects to defend your unalienable rights. After 250 years, we must ask ourselves if we still retain Life [Right to coexist with your neighbors], Liberty [Right to express your God given agency] & any shred of the pursuit of Happiness [Right to seek purpose & meaning in living] given what the US government has morphed into…

I hope you didn't close you cashapp account in haste. Normally there is some nuance to this & also I've seen that the account for Chester has already been reinstated.
If you think about it logically, Block started using AI to reduce human capital expenditure. This looks like automated process that obviously makes mistakes. It just took Chester using the bitcoin community to get a human to override the mistake. Bitcoiners have this wild tendency to grant no grace/leeway to bitcoin companies.
