RE: (EN/RO) Sloth, greed, egoism and the blockchain technology / Lene, lăcomie, egoism și tehnologia blockchain

Well pointed!
I've written an article some time ago that I was referring to that competitiveness you say.
And I think you're right when you say it's an atavistic instinct.
It most likely has two components. The first would be access to better partners and the second would be access to resources. And they led to the natural selection.
As I said in the article I was talking about above, though this competitiveness is present, although it was the absolute engine of evolution through natural selection, I think it is time to change it a little.
I say this in the idea that that group of alpha people must return something to society.
In fact, humanity has been struggling with this for some time. How else did democracy emerge? And how else could we define charity?
I say we take that competitiveness and use it in the interest of the community.
Otherwise, instead of becoming large and powerful communities, we will separate into smaller and smaller groups. That's until most of us will have the desire for social recognition satiated and each of us will be the best in the parking lot but the parking lot will be a bit empty.
In fact, blockchain technology is doing exactly that: it favors communities to the detriment of leaders of all kinds.
