Topic: Bitcoin is unfair to the non tech-savvy - page 4. (Read 7493 times)

Bitcoin is a form of money.

Are you saying it's unfair that people have to actually earn their money by providing some kind of value?
Or, are you saying early adopters shouldn't have been rewarded for their risk in putting their time and energy into an unproven technology and helping Bitcoin get to where it is now?

What are you saying?

Sure we all wish we were adopters in 2009.  Hindsight is always 20x20.
But to say it's "unfair" makes you look like a whiner or a freeloader.

. It's unfair to people NOW because the only possible way to get any is from signature campaigns and such.

The need for people to have to store, hide, protect and backup their private Bitcoin addresses sucks imo. That's one of the weaknesses of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin WAS the one in a lifetime get-rich-quick opportunity. I readed about it back in about 2009, I saw it linked to criminal activity so forgot about it. I saw it again years later when the bubble exploded, too fucking late johnny boy. Fuck my luck. It's specially frustrating since I readed about it in fucking 2009. Thanks to it im suicidal since that day. I could have retired my entire fucking family and myself, but no! of course, I had to have bad fucking luck. Now im stuck in this shit hole for life, slaving away for minimum wage and that's if I ever find a job. God fucking sakes. Bitcoin solves shit nothing for the 99.99% of people. What changed pre-post Bitcoin for 99.99% of people? That's right, bout fucking nothing. If I had to point a change, in any case it made me suicidal as fuck. Whenever I talk to someone about Bitcoin, they just don't see the appeal, they think it's too late to invest, to make any life-changing money, at least not without having a shit ton of money required to buy a good amount of BTC by now. Exactly, BTC only changed lives for these that:

1) Were lucky as fuck enough to invest/mine in the early days.
2) Already had a decent amount of money

Such people are only non tech-savy because of their ignorance. Stop doing useless things in life and learn, it's not even complicated.

For the rest it's nothing. The social pyramid is and will be the fucking same, but now the few that had luck to be on the right moment at the right time made a killing and own a big part of the supply, which will continue to stack due being able to buy ASICS, re-invest, and so on. The poor attracts more poor, the money attracts more money. Basic fact. It's specially ironic how a lot of these broke NEET guys that used to complain about how fucked up wealth distribution is, that had the luck to mine shit tons effortlessly or buy a couple thousand BTC to buy some weed in SilkRoad or whatever, found out two years later they are multimillonaires, and then whenever they get approached by a guy on their former position complaining about how fucked up wealth distribution is, say "if you are poor you deserve it, get a job" and help you in your dead end position with shit nothing when 1 BTC means shit nothing to them, while it would mean a world to a person like me because it would mean being able to at least, have a somewhat materializable idea of a business or investment and try to start from a fair position. No matter what greed will always be there, fiat, Bitcoin or who the fuck knows what. The human race is pathetic and ready for extinction.
