To make the world better, Bitcoin's creator set out to create a currency which improves on many aspects of traditional currencies.

There are tons of fair criticisms of Bitcoin, but to exchange money isn't greedy. Someone can't be called "greedy" for buying a tablecloth or selling produce.

Are the dollar, the euro, and the yen making the world worse in your mind? Plenty of people use Bitcoin as a vehicle for investment, but that's not the purpose behind it, and one certainly doesn't have to treat it that way.

Unfortunately Bitcoin mainline no longer believes that BTC should be a peer to peer electronic cash system, and the result is crippling fees and a pathetic transaction rate.
