No, they just don’t have the same principles as us.

Reddit has being shit for a decade, if you have the wrong principles is because you are fine with that

People who keep using reddit are idiots, simple as that.

It’s the government, they spend millions of public money in pr, they should have never had a twitter account to begin with and should have used their own tools.

Why are they there in the first place?

Once you have a few million I imagine getting to a billion is a lot easier.

How so?

In any case, idk why you’re so opposed to taxing the hell out of them.

Who said i’m opposed to that? In another comment i argued that taxing billionaires is not the answer to get rid of them because in fact it doesn’t.

That is true but their choices or habits are influenced by the rotten society around them.

Tax alone isn’t the answer. if the richest man in the world were to pay 200 billions a year in taxes they would still be a billionaire and if these 200 billions ends up on building a ballroom for politicians not much is achieved.

A billion is an amount of money so ridiculous that it should simply be illegal to have that much.

A billionaire is 999 times richer than a millionaire, you may end up a millionaire by chance but there’s no way you can magically become a billionaire. Assuming you bought 1000 bitcoins when they were worth a cent you would have sell them at 1 or 10, assuming you win a billion at the lottery you would give some of it away and cease to be a billionaire as a result.

Keep also in mind that these people work hard to secure contracts and royalties, the more investments you have the more work you have to do to manage them.

Bitcoin and ethereum blockchains are built to be open, public and decentralized. The difference between these and a bank could be compared to the difference between reddit and lemmy. Is reddit a scam? Perhaps not on a large scale but it has all the potential to become a scam once its executives decide to do so. Lemmy is not owned by a single person which makes it way more harder to “control”.

You can support lemmy by donating cryptocurrencies, they are not only used by scammers.

Most of crypto volume is done on bitcoin and ethereum network which are built to be less scammy than a bank. You could indeed argue that 99.9% of existing cryptocurrencies are scam because there are thousand existing projects that imitates bitcoin, similarly one could argue that 99.9% iphones copies are a scam

Your argument sounds like “pc are bads because of virus”

Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros

The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded
