> many financial instruments out there, derivatives, credit default swaps, funds of funds, the crazy options stuff going on ... and you drew the line at BTC?

That seems like you are putting words into the GP’s mouth.

Nobody is saying these other instruments aren’t also ‘greed’, just that Bitcoin is no better.

That’s relevant because one part of the Bitcoin narrative is that it is actually better in some way, and not just another speculative instrument.
