What's your take on the David Baileys, Steven Lubkas, Cory Klipstens, Dan Helds, Saylors, etc, of the online Bitcoin scene?

To me, they seem like people who just care about playing the Wall Street game on top of Bitcoin. I probably shouldn’t call them grifters/scammers; that’s too harsh when you compare them with some of the actual ones (if you know, you know), because they aren’t committing any crime (that we know of).

To me, they just have too much of a fiat mindset that is incompatible with what I think Bitcoin is trying to achieve. Or maybe they are just mirrors of what we'd all become in case we were running the companies they are? My first instinct is to judge them harshly, so I'd be happy to have someone giving me some counterweight to my knee-jerk reaction, to help me judge them more generously.

Feel free to comment if you think they don't belong on the same list.

Reading myself, this sounds like a Bitcoin maxi purity test. Well, I wrote it, so I should just post it now.
