Your defense of investors and entrepreneurs who can oftentimes be seen as (for lack of a better term) "money-grubbing" reminds me of a statement that a lot of poker players make in similar situations. Some extremely intense players will tell you that the game isn't about money at all. Poker is a competition. Money is just a way of keeping score. So while some entrepreneurs seem obsessed with making money, we should realize that they are really obsessed with the adventures of business. Money is just a way of keeping score.
