Getting Away With Evil
A lot of people see bad people thriving and secretly get jealous. They see altcoin creators make millions, or immoral VCs dump on retail and despise them, not so much because they're immoral, though that's the main rationalization, but because they want to get away with it, too.
You must kill those instincts with everything you have. Because that means you're also willing to sell your soul for money. It's just that you haven't had the opportunity yet.
Many OGs have gone into altcoins for this very reason. They saw Vitalik or Brad or a16z killing it with dogshit and decided to do it themselves, more out of envy than even greed. The scorn heaped on them is not as much moral than it is envious. I've seen these people, they altcoin eventually. This is not a good road to go down.
This envy is a fiat mindset. You want to get money without working hard. You want to scam people, as long as the payoff is sufficient. And you can tell there are a lot of such people, because they turn around rather suddenly and launch something that completely goes against what they said they believed.
This is sadly true of a lot of people. I don't need to name names but you know who they are. And unfortunately, we'll see a lot more of it going forward. The problem was always a moral deficiency.
