When bitcoin came out I was excited at the prospect of s free, egalitarian money. While it is free there’s not really anything egalitarian about it unfortunately, and I don’t see it solving huge problems like poverty.
Maybe a coin which is evenly distributed among the population to start would be better.
- tomjen3 8y agoSuch a coin wouldn't be evenly distributed for long, unless you banned free exchanges with it.
- Synaesthesia 8y agoNo but it would still be an interesting experiment.
- tim333 8y agoI spent a while trying to figure how you could issue some token to everyone on the planet. It's hard to get the database and contact them all to give them private keys, as it were.
- thelasthuman 8y agoEgalitarian means equality between classes, implying that class based hierarchy still exists. Not really something to aspire to IMO.
- Synaesthesia 8y agoYeah I just meant equality between everyone, period
