yeah, i kinda don't believe in this nonsense about nonprofit though, that's a scam for tax purposes, as seekrit code for "we don't pay income taxes because we make a fuss about being helpful" and that's all you have to actually do to get a pass
seriously, the whole income tax thing is a paper thin veil over top of the biggest, open, but clandestine racketeering industry of all history, and membership on the inside isn't really that hard to get, legitimacy is cheaper than tax refunds

they do what they are required to do to satisfy the racketeers, not what is moral
i don't know exactly how moral the psychology of the people involved is, because at least some of them are clearly narcissistic attention whores, so their decisions will be influenced by how they estimate their actions will create more attention, and there's simple avarice to pile up their stack and pay for their yachts and hobnobbing around the conference circuit
but some of them not quite so much narcissistic, but maybe various levels of deluded about the busines model or the psychohistory or any number of aspects of the strategy for promoting bitcoin
it is what it is, and people are people
