 Can you buy trust? If you are still in doubt, no you cannot! Out of all people, bitcoiners should know that. The sole purpose of any corporate entity is to make profits, period. If one corporation has ideals that happened to align with yours, great, but don’t count on it. You cannot trust any corporation, no matter how good you feel about them. Their purpose is not to please you, don’t get fooled. Their allegiances are with their shareholders! Corporations are not good or bad, they just are! 🐶🐾🫡 
 My take away: "Everyone is out to get you and your money so don't do business with anyone ever" 😂 
 JK true 💯 
 True to an extent, but not that drastic 🐶🐾😂 
 In going against my raison d'etre here (See profile bio), but that is the absolute truth🙏🏻.   
 “Corporations are not good or bad, they just are!”
 Best quote I ever seen all day, and better yet it’s TRUTH 🫡
Fundamentally I have anarchistic ideals, but it’s good (wise) to see all sides 
 You can trust me. I swear. 🤞 
 Why is "making profits in a free market" not the same as "please people"?

Do you transfer value to people who don't provide you with something that pleases you?
In a proper market, if a firm is not pleasing people, it should go out of business and it's resources freed up for better (pleases more people) purposes.

 You have the answer, “please more people”. Driven by profit making, not individuals’ needs. If you happen to fall into majority, then good for you! 🐶🐾🫡 
 Profits are derived from individuals' needs. You can't force someone to buy something, they voluntarily do so when they suspect their needs can be met.  
 Wise words, doggo 🫡🫂🐶
