        Exactly. Average asshole gets a billion, they get a financial advisor, let their money turn into generational wealth with investments, and donate to charity while living in a big mansion.

        The billionaires we have are more of mentally sick wannabe dragons, the horde will never be big enough to satisfy them.

      Or what? What are you(plural) gunna do about it? They keep getting away with it so what is this “when” you speak of and what’s going to happen?

      Even small children and animals learn very quickly that empty threats are far more cringey than scary and begin ignoring them almost immediately. These are grown people who’ve lived their whole lives without consequences and you think they give a shit?

      I don’t think they can afford to, if they’re betting on this technology. They have to use their public influence to convince as many (important) people as possible for as long as possible to squeeze as much money as possible. After all, if these successful CEOs say it’s good, other CEOs may be swayed as well, and they’re the suckers that’ll end up deciding to spend the fruit of other people’s labour on infrastructure and tokens.

        These people literally have fuck you money, they can afford a fuck-up like the AI bubble popping tens of times over if not endlessly with their countless legal loopholes. Their attitudes are based purely on having never faced repercussions for their societal parasitism and an insatiable desire for “more”.

          Financially, sure. Emotionally, their sense of self-worth and their image is defined by their financial success. To have bet on a losing horse would sting. Hence, they need it to succeed.
