some stat:
* "the world population was estimated to have reached
7,800,000,000 people as of March 2020" (

* bitcoin current supply:
18,660,000;
minus
3,700,000 ( "Around 3.7 million bitcoin, currently worth around $140 billion, appears to be permanently lost or stranded in disused digital wallets, US-based paper The New York Times reported Tuesday." /
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+many+bitcoins+lost+forewer)
total:
14,960,000in case of equal distribution as of may 2021 (no worries, it won't happen): 14,960,000 / 7,800,000,000 =
0.0019179 btc per person / 191790 sat per person
with the current average price of $55,000 per BTC : 0.00221794*55000 =
105.48 $ per person;
now let's dream a little bit.some more stat: * "The world's population is projected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050" (
https://www.google.com/search?q=number+of+people+by+2030);year
2050:
some if's and assumptions: *99.9% of population has access to electricity and internet;
* robots almost ready to do all the dirtiest and manual work for humans;
*humans do mostly intellectual work, craft, art, etc.; they still can do manual and dirty work though, but only if they want to;
*energy is clean, unlimited and practically free;
*bitcoin has matured and evolved, got strength and new qualities:
- become easy and convenient to use, cheap (low/no fees) and fast (processing time);
- stayed decentralized;
- become capable of self-defence (developed a mechanism against manipulation and abuse of the system);
- governed by users/holders (has different levels of voting systems and various electoral, autonomous bodies within the system that counterbalance and equilibrate each other to avoid corruption and abuse of power);
- has a mechanism of suppression of unnecessary urge for greed and unreasonable enrichment (various fee in case one holding more than need or speculate);
- stimulate trust, help and support for those who are in temporal difficulties (unforeseen circumstances, illness, etc);
- has a mechanism of discouraging laziness and make no room for freeloaders (want a bite - do your part);
some more if's: * bitcoin current supply:
20,900,000;
minus
3,700,000 ;
total:
17,200,000;
* bitcoin slowly has been redistributed to all people on the planet: big holders willingly and voluntarily sell their surplus of bitcoins to bitcoinless folks (it is not profitable and respectful anymore to hold more than you need);
remember the year is
2050:
17,200,000 / 9,700,000,000 = 0.00177319 btc per person / 177319 sat per person;
with the price goes up to $1,000,000 per BTC : 0.00177319*1000000 = 1,773.19 $ (but who cares about fiat in 2050?)
177319 sat per person / a golden standard / - an average living wage for a common citizen of the world;
SO. all we need is a mechanism of equal distribution of bitcoin among all people on Earth, BUT it
has NOT to be on the base of forceable expropriation and equal redistribution. the mechanism
has to be just, transparent, beneficial for everybody, stimulating trust and honesty, fighting greed, corruption and laziness.
Maybe this is a pretty interesting idea to study. It's just that the question is, does everyone understand what cryptocurrency is, what is bitcoin. Even in my country not many know what bitcoin is. So if this idea is poured in, there's still a lot that needs to be studied, in order to make it perfect.
