What are you are are describing are bad motivations. It’s like wanting a salary when volunteering. One doesn’t actually care about value if the only motivation to create said value is to get obscene amounts of money.
> They weren’t creating a company for the “good of mankind”.
I feel most VC blurbs disagree with that, although of course that’s not their actual motivation.
I don’t see how non-profits are relevant other than as examples of companies/organizations that do actually provide value in lieu of massive gains and profit.
And I think you missed my point as I was responding to:
> If you prevent such purchases, you eliminate a major factor in creating the value to begin with.
