Everyone is directly and indirectly impacted by the results. It is a shared resource. What's owned is what ends up in the wallet after 7 days. So even the best examples of generally accepted behaviors which typically see the best results can end up affecting everyone else down the line.
Quite similar to life and the environment. We don't own the planet. We are a part of the planet. Makes sense to eliminate wasteful practices. Nobody likes to see deforestation; all while ensuring they never run out of toilet paper. Nobody likes to see drought; all while ensuring they never go thirsty. People want to save energy; so they use countless megawatts to tell the story while others use even more to hear the story.
I see your point, and have no desire to agree or disagree.
It's just semantics.
Everyone affects and is affected by the reward pool. Like the Earth, it is their responsibility to ensure that it lasts and remains sustainable.
I was going say that as well. It's just semantics.
All that water that ended up outside didn't end up there due to poor decisions. That's just where it ends up. Finding ways to bring it back inside in order to grow a forest, in my mind, seems like a logical step in the right direction. Can't plant trees and expect them to grow, without that water. And it might not make everyone wealthy, but it could make them healthy.
