Technology should be for everyone. Period. Full Stop.
It's like information, information is for all. Although I realize some governments oppress their people and restrict access to information.

Bitcoin as a technology that is for everyone
Is this a rhetorical question?
It should be, but this discussion shows it relevant to Bitcoin's future direction:
Permanently keeping the 1MB (anti-spam) restriction is a great idea ...
Is this a rhetorical question?
Voted for Everyone, you're already seeing signs of this happening across the globe.
You're seeing it with Bitpesa:

These are some of the poorest nations in the world, so to just say it's an Elite thing or 1% thing isn't actually close to true.

Indeed.
A major reason why poor nations remain poor is their woeful financial system. Bitcoin is not a panacea, but it will certainly help level the playing field for anyone who struggles to obtain a bank account. A problem which the elites never have.
Everyone who was in the know whether rich or poor to begin with had the chance to hold a big stack of bitcoin, but it will be hard for 3rd world type places of the world to have access to it now because alot of them are just trying to survive the trap. It will turn to an elites currency imo but who knows except the future.
The main issue of saying Bitcoin is for everyone today is because a lot of people aren't ready to use Bitcoin. They'll do a lot of bad practices in terms of security and they will have their bitcoins stolen or lost.

Bitcoin is for everyone regardless whether it's for a common people on the street or even so-called elites. Nobody controls it that's for sure
In Bitcoinland elites will rise and fall while in the fiat world elites are sticking no matter what "Ooops, let's just print some money...".
Exactly. There will always be elites ALWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS fuck. But the difference for the first time in HISTORY is that the core of the system (blockchain) cannot be changed. This is huge and this is why bitcoin will go 100K per coin.In Bitcoinland elites will rise and fall while in the fiat world elites are sticking no matter what "Ooops, let's just print some money...".

Back in 1993, was the Internet for EVERYONE or just a new ELITE?
The question is not “What is it right now?” but “What SHOULD it be?”
Its like the internet, for everyone.

Bitcoin is for everyone and noone controll it. Fiat is controlled by elite and used to enslave masses.
I think the Bitcoin community is very clear on that question.
There are a few idiots, who most likely never read the white paper or SN's posts and completely misunderstand the concept of Bitcoin, who would disagree, but these people are not the majority, they are just very noisy.

Everything is for everyone, so bitcoin should for everyone
But, new elite might stole the chance
