Reading through Atlas Shrugged, I get the sense that if becoming a billionaire (measured in USD) in gold isn’t somewhere on your top ten life goals, Ayn Rand wants nothing to do with you.
I will modify that slightly for my own principle- if you don’t want to one day have $1 billion worth of UBI Coin, then I don’t want to be your friend, based on grounds that I expect can be justified using Functional Decision Theory (related to the fact that the expected value of being a random person in a society that uses mainly DDs is better than the expected value of being a random person in a USD society).
I think I can extend that principle a little further: if you’re not the kind of person who also shares a preference for your friends being the type who want to be UBI Coin billionaires, I might still be friends with you if you’re cool enough, but you can bet that I’ll be judging you for that.

(Ideally, I would want to earn those $1 billion worth of UBI Coin via a Public Goods Market, that almost goes without saying)
