Is it neutral, to design a system where those with more resources have more power?

• yreg 5y ago
  Yes. Those with more resources always have more power. Unless some entity takes those resources away at which point they don't have more resources.

    So, neutrality supports the entities that have more resources. Since it is supporting them, can it really be called "neutral"?

    But shouldn’t something have been done to ensure a better initial distribution of those assets? To be a Bitcoin maximalist basically means you want a future in which the Winkelvoss twins, Pompliano et al are the richest people of all time. How is that a future worth fighting for?

    That’s a pretty different take than the grandparent comment where blockchain is disruption brought to you by anarchists.
