I hope amendmens in bitcoin blockchain are made soon to tick this issue which will bring bitcoin world community closer to original Satoshi Nakamoto idea for bitcoin as everyday currency, not for speculation and hoarders.

I think Satoshi's vision for bitcoin was that "Chancellor (Alistair Darling, if you must know) on brink of second bailouts for banks" won't be a sentence any newspaper will ever write again post-bitcoin era.

Isn't one of the beauties of bitcoin is to have financial freedom? Your suggestion contradicts it. So what if some people have big amounts? Good for them for buying at cheaper prices and good for them for being able to afford huge amounts. Also, your suggestion isn't even good as people can move a small amount of bitcoin to another wallet with the same ownership to prevent this "tax" that you're suggesting.

People should be free on what they want to do with their bitcoin.

And one more thing: take note that bitcoin now isn't only for transacting, but also as a store of value.

Let's make this clear.
If you own bitcoin address and spend them within one year you will be fine. You are using bitcoins! That's what Satoshi Nakamoto wanted, to use it.
But if your address show no movement within 3 years, blockchain should gradually decrease it to incenivise you to spend them.
It's like land tax if you buy land and don't build anything on it for a long time which is causing land prices to bubble. Hoarders are not welcome.
Or those bitcoins should go back to community into the pool.
I hope amendmens in bitcoin blockchain are made soon to tick this issue which will bring bitcoin world community closer to original Satoshi Nakamoto idea for bitcoin as everyday currency, not for speculation and hoarders.
