RE: if I lost this account, would you care?
I like your example and I was with you the whole way because it seems logical, but I don’t think it’s a complete example and the reason for that is that for people like you and I, we assume that they have no friends. But the world is run by rich arseholes with other rich arsehole friends who are subsequently surrounded by sycophants that will pander to all of their needs and come to the rescue whenever they falter.
The rich always safeguard each other. Our whole capitalistic economic system is an example of the rich supporting the rich. That’s why the bankers were bailed out by over $3.5 trillion when their bets went wrong and that’s why the poor man (or more poignantly, millions of poor & middle class people) loses his home when tough times happen.
But we are the answer to creating a radical positive shift where everyone is taken care of.

Love it!
You might be right my friend, you might be right... but... maybe that applies outside of steem, that last element, maybe...
I’d rather not be right.
But hey, your main point is that we behave with respect and ethical integrity whilst connecting and supporting each other and that, my friend, will create inner happiness and peace.
So the question isn’t whether people would rescue or aid someone greedy like that, nor whether they have a support network or not, it’s whether they find peace and happiness inside of themselves.
That is highly unlikely.
