Principles sold for money !
How it is easy sometimes for some people to sell their principles for money.
During all the history we see so many people fighting for their principles. Some of them even fight for them to the death. Some don't even mind to keep fighting for that even if they are attacked all the time. So, they kind of risk everything to just hold to their principles. It's of course so hard to do especially in our time. The time of censorship, a lot of disinformation and a very powerful manipulation of the public opinion.
So, we all agree that fighting for principles is not that easy. But sometimes we just have to do that. Because there are some principles who should never be broken. That what identify our personality. That what make us human. But we see so many selling their principles, so you may see them fighting for them for so long, but when they see the profit, they go along with it no matter what. Are they free to do that ? Of course yes. But it doesn't mean that others have also to do the same. If someone holding to his/her principles no matter what, it doesn't mean that this person doesn't care about money. But that means that his/her principles aren't for sale !
The same about the principles we have in crypto or on the blockchains. The decentralization for example, the freedom of speech. Should we stop defending that only because we start earning more? Only because someone or something pushed us to not care about those principles and put the money in the first place ? Should we just welcome new investors to the platform, just because they have a lot of money, and they want to make more ? Should we let them ruin everything built for so long just to have more of them ? Of course no. If the decentralization and the freedom of speech are the principles of the blockchain, we should put them in the first place.
Many may think that attracting investors, or earning more by increasing the price of the currency is what matter the most. But not always big money help the price. Look at the coinmarketcap in those cryptocurrencies on the top. Are they all increasing in the price even having a lot of money invested in them ? Some of them are even going less in the price.
Always look at the big picture of things. Long term profit is better than short term one !
The greed killed so many projects !
