 Is taking dollar debt to buy #bitcoin (a speculative attack) unethical because you didn’t earn that bitcoin or is it ethical because you are essentially ringing the alarm of a rigged dollar.

Assuming zero *actual* risk here 🤙

 *Someone* spent the energy & earned the value the money represents.  If it wasn't you, and the money wasn't a gift, then using your time & energy to get the money anyway is unethical

 It isn't unethical. The dollar debt is created from nothing.
