FUD.
So these days the term old is defined as 6 years. Very interesting.
Sure, for a house, 6 years is not old. For a cellphone, a computer, or website design? Yeah, plenty old. Welcome to the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies
... I'm not completely clear on your stance towards it, but I do not like it.
Seems to be the de facto for Bitcoin diehards: "I don't get it, so I don't like it." Nothing new.
One of the fundamental ideas of Bitcoin is the separation of money and state. Bitcoin was supposed to give back the power of the people and try to damage the established world order (that is harmful to the average man). Bitcoin has been successfully doing this ever since markets opened and adoption started.
If by "average man" you mean "a handful of early adopters"...
...we're on the same page. Nothing remotely democratic about Bitcoin wealth distribution. Same game, new players.
Yes, Bitcoin's distribution doesn't differ much from fiat distribution.
My point exactly, any claim that bitcoin upsets the economic disparity, and is somehow "for the average man," is bullshit.
But that is because it's impossible to make a good distribution across people unless you are a communist
A COMMUNIST?! Bite your tongue, young man!
and don't allow people to stack money even if they deserve it by being pioneers and taking higher risk. So get to work and get BTC while you can still be a pioneer, so in 10 years you don't have to complain about it.
Not complaining, simply not interested in swapping one shitty system for another, shittier one. I got into Bitcoin out of pure curiosity, the same way I got into folding@home. A few years ago I came to terms with what Bitcoin became -- a dirtier, faster (as in "evolving in compressed time"), shakier near-parody of the fiat economy. Reinventing every scam that happened in the fiat world, falling into all the same traps, rewarding the shittiest, most predatory players, etc., etc.
So I'm mostly out. Unlike folding@home, I made money with BTC. Purely by chance, mind you: when the price began rocketing up past 100 I was selling tranche after tranche, not believing my luck. So no complaints/no regrets.
As far as "get[ting] to work" goes,
I suggest you stop wasting money on get-rich-quick schemes, and get to work yourself. The working trick always works
The distribution of bitcoin holdings is freely available information.
I suggest not listening to the biggest troll on the forum. Someone relegated to spamming here daily with numerous new accounts as his primary and all alts are banned for various offences including child pornography related matters. Caution advised!
