Bitcoin Doesn’t Create Wealth Inequality

[TimeBits]

Wealth equality you say! well, that also means it can help the third world country like Zimbabwe and India(ignoring the ban) to grow in their economic conditions. I have already seen many people trying to understand these digital coins but are getting scammed. maybe we should help them get to know what digital coins really are.

That would be amazing

If you want to earn more money, my recommendation is to develop a business plan and find a way to refine your products in-house and sell it for a premium. That is the way you make more money, and anyone can do it.

I don`t want to earn money, I want to earn fair money.

Maybe in the earlier days it could've got developed from a simple computer protocol. While one thing come to existence it won't easily preferred by the user community. One who made a buy earlier believing in it have turned wealthy. While we now examine the affordability it is possible with the one who bought in the early days as well the one with huge funds. In simple terms it served as a wealth generator and further the same got to be way for inequality.

The only point here is that bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency created an opportunity for people (professionals, rich, poor, as in everyone) to get involved in a venture where they can earn aside from their earnings in real-life.

Take me as an example, before I learned about crypto I used to work my ass out just to earn minimum wage, to pay for my bills and shelter, to feed my family. Bitcoin was able to give me an opportunity to earn a year worth of my salary in just a short span of time, and I think it's one of the best opportunity I had.

Now, you guys continue your discussion.   (Eating popcorn while reading)
 

Bitcoin and other cryptos created an Equal opportunity to be specific. I believe that's what OP was talking about with her statement "wealth equality".
Things kinda quickly went to a different direction  

That's my point and many of these contributors are wagering around the initial point of my post.

Every useful things in this world that've pioneered in any specific fields are meant to be worthy and Bitcoin is one of it.

Not even Satoshi knew Bitcoin was going to be this big from inception let alone those who bought it at launch. It was a fun experiment for them back then. I believe the phenomenal that attracted more interest to Bitcoin as time went by was the blockchain tech it has and a lot of people felt they could leverage on that for other benefits. This has remained truthful till date in accounting and economics. My point is that Bitcoin wasn't worthy or useful from the beginning. Otherwise, the 10,000btc for pizza wouldn't have happened.

The opinion of the OP could have been true during the early years of bitcoin, I mean between 2008 and 2010. But currently, bitcoin creates wealth inequality. It is mainly those who have big money bags that can make huge and profitable investment with bitcoin. These are also the same category of people who dictates the pace of the market or the direction it swings.

Yes, bitcoin has made the people who the society condemned to be slave to financial instability millionaires. The returns that has come to bitcoin earliest investors and even later investors is something the current banking system can never ever achieve from generation to generation. Bitcoin is freedom.

Indeed, Possibly it created wealth equally in its earlier stage but will not agree on that now, haven adopted  by many investors, Bitcoin has been know and be use for many purposes that, is unable to create equal wealth. The rich can buy 20 to 100 Bitcoin why the poor cannot, so, many point still remains that, Bitcoin now doestn't create wealth equally.

I think that with Bitcoin is the same as with anything else that has material value. Bitcoin users are not equal and not all can afford the same amount because everyone has different financial potential. So I couldn't agree that Bitcoin doesn't create wealth inequality. Similar like with fiat not everyone has equal amount of funds.

I think you meant equality of opportunity, cryptocurrencies and dapps create lots of opportunities for those who can't have an access to different markets for many reasons. It is but partly because of lack of regulation.

Some has described about the opportunities people get through bitcoin. Here there is equality, and one who got skills can move forward easily. Apart from this we cannot find bitcoin take away inequality, because everyone runs for money and here it is no more an exception. Same as fiat one who has lot of fund afford it and earn good while the lower level of people can afford less.

It takes a matured mind to appreciate how bitcoin works.  It would also be a mistake on the part of anyone to assume that bitcoin can create equal wealth in the world. The world has never been fair even before the introduction of the current monetary system.

Indeed. I would pretty much prefer the term "opportunity". These cryptocurrencies allowed different kinds of people, whether employed or not, student or not, young and old, to have a legitimate source of income. (I called it legit because of the accusations from some people that bitcoin or other crypto is a scam). They could just be sitting somewhere but still able to earn money through our beloved cryptos. It only needs enough knowledge and know-how in order to be engaged here. The world was never fair. And life itself is not fair as well. Rich people gets richer; poor people gets poorer. But despite that, the decentralized bitcoin and its successors made those less fortunate have a way of earning. Though not that big, the important thing is they have a means.

As clearly stated, Bitcoin doesn't create wealth inequality and not equality of opportunity. Lets look back to the early days of Bitcoin; where it was airdropped, wither "A" or "B" holds 20 of it or 0 of it, but was airdropped equally. As many that applied to the airdrop, they equally received the same Coins back then.

 And in few years; those without clear knowledge of Bitcoin potentials; misused their coins while others who believe on it potentials got the wealth equally

~~It would also be a mistake on the part of anyone to assume that bitcoin can create equal wealth in the world.

Never a mistake if one argue what is right. The price of Bitcoin has started rising and many are still waiting until it get down to $1000 before they secure their portion but that, will never going to happen, so, such an individual if he/she can't buy it later will accuse Bitcoin of not creating wealth equally. Buy Bitcoin now and have your chances secure.

If (A) and (B) bought $2000 worth of Bitcoin and i buy the same,then sell out the same time means: (A)  $2000 * 1000% and (B) $2000 * 1000%, simply means equal wealth if hold till bull run.

That is why we need to keep learning about cryptocurrency especially about bitcoin because that will help to gain more information and of course, a way of making money. I am sure when we can gain more information, that means we have another option to get to the right way to the wealth. But there is no instant way to reach wealthy, and we need to do hard work to reach the goals.
