It is not a black world...........I understand that you don't agree.
As to altruism, your motives must be such that you DO NOT expect to make a profit in ANY coin. Soon as you have the idea that you can somehow profit from it, altruism goes out the window.

I'm not saying every individual is bad. The universe being infinite, anything can happen. What I am saying is that betting on people being good is a losing proposition in the long run. Like they say "The race isn't always to the strongest or the swiftest but that is the way to bet."
