Personally I have no interest in having a 'Lambo'. I just hope crypto will give me some security in the long term. I think there is too much focus on getting rich then it could just help a lot of people get by. There is also too much emphasis on buying it when people could be earning it. The former is great for people who already have money, but the latter can benefit those who only have time. The world doesn't need more billionaires, but it does need less people struggling to through the year. Yes, I do have some socialist tendencies, but I don't see an issue with wanting others to have a decent life, especially when I live relatively well.

Why not? You might not want the car which is fine. But why are you adverse to amassing wealth? Is it because you are so selfish.
You talked about helping others, imagine all the help you could provide if you earned €10 million. You could give away 9.9 million of that and do a lot of good.
Are you opposed to that? You have the opportunity.
Sure it would help if people started to earn and enhance their financial future. However, how many do that? We see it on Hive, people come and leave. They get upset when they dont make bank the first two posts. This is especially true for the developed world. The Nigerians and people from countries like that do a much better job helping themselves.
Earning crypto requires one to stop being lazy and actually learn something. Again, we look at all the financial materials on the web that is free and how many people are, in general, completely in the dark when it comes to finances?

Is it selfish to not desire more than I need? If I were to get wealthier via Hive I can certainly do a lot of good and don't even need to give it away. Of course I am happy to earn from crypto, but that is not the only thing I care about. I can be happy without some of the trappings of wealth that we see on TV (fancy cars, jewelery, massive houses etc).
I feel I have put a lot of effort into building something on Hive and that is partly about what I can do for others. I consider myself very fortunate that I was born in a time and place where I would not be struggling to exist. I think Hive has potential to help those less fortunate than me, but they do need to understand how it works and not expect miracles. They do need to learn about it and I know you are trying to help with that. I have done my own tutorial posts.
I don't have all the answers, but I am enjoying my Hive journey. I am off to Hivefest soon where I can talk to people who know far more than me.
