It perhaps also comes from people afraid of being confronted with the fact that some of those "others" being offered the said value, may simply want to pay a lot less than the real value on offer.

#Negotiation still has not gone out the window. Negotiating used to be seen as a non-noble activity due to the by-default animosity at play.

There are way too many individuals who need major #fiat de-programming, or major #bitcoin #standard #intervention.

Fiat has taught us violence, bullying, "one-up-on-ness", dishonesty, indecency, fraud, scam, robbery, exploitation, etc... are the "necessary" means/tools/attitudes "justified" by the end/goal.

I feel like there are a lot of folks who have amazing value to offer. Fiat has also taught/programmed into us the reality of the present perception scarcity. ("IMA gonna hang onto my #sats, cuz my capacity/ability to earn them is diminishing as I age/get sick/etc...")
This scarcity comes not only from circumstances, but from FIAT itself being the forever melting ice cube that it is.
Sats aren't that cube, thank God, but the program is already set in so many of us who grew in abject poverty or are currently struggling financially.

Then, there are those who also see a negotiation as a way to "one-up-ya'..."
Power-hungry, or sadists, simply enjoy abusing others. It is an unfortunate fact of life. What best way to abuse someone than to make them feel worthless by making their good/service appear worthless as well and steal from them their energy/effort/time put into the good/value/service being offered?

This is to NOT undermine what you wrote. IT IS TRUE. Some folks are afraid to see that they may not have a quality good to offer/contribute.
But we cannot discount the fiat programming from some, and the pleasure/enjoyment felt by those robbing/abusing from others.

How does #BitcoinFixesThis ?
At the moment, I can only think that it does by the fact that sats are not melting cubes.
So, even when an asshole wants to be an asshole and pay you less than the value offered, as long as that pay is in sats, those sats will not melt.

Just my two sats. I'm tired and I think rambled too much.
