> It's selfish to reject something beneficial to everyone because you won't benefit as much as others, no?

If I decide not to use cryptocurrencies, I am not denying anyone else from using cryptocurrencies. My decision disadvantages nobody. There is no social duty to use cryptocurrencies.

Also, if I disagree that cryptocurrency is "beneficial to everyone" (and I do), then I'm not being selfish for not taking part no matter what.

> You continue to call it a "scheme"

I did not intend "scheme" as a pejorative. I meant it to mean "plan" or "system". My apologies for the miscommunication here.

> We're all "rich" here and I get why most of us simply want that to continue.

Umm, what? I honestly don't understand what you mean by this.
