Yeah, so, a poor college student can't have a bank account but he can have a computer ($200) and internet connection ($10/m) to get started with these coins.
Well, how does a poor college student get his first coin? or a satoshi? Oh right, a computer, a wallet, maybe a bank account and an exchange platform account. No? Go find someone sells coins offline? lol, with what? Cash? Oh, that poor student... He just transfered 10 grands into bitcoins yesterday, today, it worths 12 grands, tomorrow worths 8. No worry, a poor student doesn't care.
Any coin that needs an internet connection means a huge ignorance of 2/3 of world population and infrastructures (which are controlled by the goverments). I don't want to live in that kind of world/system.
The premined coins have already made the bitcoin world unfair, how can any one keep saying bitcoin is the future and doing good things for the poor? I guess because those coins made wealth redistribution much easier than ever.
