Rich people engaging in charity are just washing their own image. Under the current system, there's no way to be rich without exploiting the poor. That's just how the system works. No amount of charity will change that.
He literally just explained a way that MrBeast got extremely rich without exploiting the poor. He got into Bitcoin super early, and cashed out at a peak, becoming a multimillionaire overnight. No poor exploitation at all there.
As the OP, I'd like to mention here that I never said or thought that Bitcoin involves no poor exploitation.
Except for the faceless idiots that bought in during one of those peaks and left with big debts. Otherwise, no exploitation anywhere!
