Most of the people who can hold Bitcoin are people who have some assets in their hands. For poor people, it is really not easy to access this circle. Maybe those free blockchain games can help them understand a little bit about tokens. However, even if they have saved a lot of tokens in the game, when they want to put it forward, they will hesitate when they see the high fee. In the end, these tokens are either used in the game or sold to wealthy investors. After all, wealth is really not easy to flow into the hands of ordinary people.
Imo, even individuals with limited resources have the potential to save and invest, albeit in smaller amounts.

the way I see it, the primary challenge isn’t necessarily the accumulation of wealth, but rather the accessibility and understanding of the technology itself. Bitcoin and blockchain concepts can be complex and intimidating for newcomers, which could deter participation.

Moreover, disparities in access to technology and the internet can further increase these challenges. Therefore, efforts should be focused on enhancing the accessibility of these technologies and simplifying their complexities.

Certainly, politics is everyone’s business, but not in the way we’re often led to believe. Politics is not just about voting every four years or watching debates on television. It’s much more; it’s the essence of our daily interactions, the air we breathe in a free market, and the freedom to choose in our everyday lives.

As Ludwig von Mises aptly put it: “Human action is purposeful behavior.” In every action, we are engaging in politics; every time we exchange goods or services, we are voting for a world without coercion. To ignore politics is to ignore our own agency, to let others write the rules of our game.

Anarcho-capitalism teaches us that true politics is self-governance. It’s the rebellion against the tyranny of the collective for the sake of the individual. It’s understanding that behind every law and regulation, there’s a metaphorical gun pointed at our heads.

So yes, everyone should know about politics, not to play the state’s game, but to know how to avoid its traps and live in true freedom. Because in the end, as Rothbard said: “The state is those who run it, and it is not at all an abstraction.”
