That is ridiculous. Those people invested early, which drove the price and popularity up, which adds legitimacy and publicity to the system. This is a perfectly fair reward for being on top of technological advances and understanding them enough to want to invest, I see no reason to rescind any of it.
- ubernostrum 13y agoAddressing inequalities of opportunity created as a result of historical factors which predate the adoption of a libertarian system is one of the problems with adopting a libertarian system (aka, the "Libertarianism, starting right now" problem). As Bitcoin is generally promoted from a libertarian orientation, Bitcoin must also face this issue. Replacing one system of "I or my ancestors were smart enough to do this a long time ago" with another one does not particularly improve matters.
