Not sure I understand your problem.  What is the problem again?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

He is talking about the overwhelming control of the larger percentile of bitcoin. More pointedly the fact that 30 (28.9 to be exact) percent is controlled by only 47 addresses, and then the next 20% is controlled by another 900 addresses. This has created the 1% problem that we see with banks, and I believe he was asking if anything could be done about it. Though from a free market base there is no real way to legitimately slove this, unless they spend/donate/transfer this bitcoin, it will stay that way.

It's better just to accept the fact that inequality exists and look for opportunities to profit from it. I think any effort to create a mass movement to redistribute BTC is bound to fail. In the absence of a central authority, you need a consensus to change the rules, but there can be no consensus.

Look at real life examples. Ask 100 people what they think the minimum wage should be. Some will say zero, and the other answers will vary widely.

I think he's worried about a small number of people holding most of the wealth like what happens with fiat. I think this kind of thing is only natural really. People will always rise to the top whilst others languish at the bottom and then there's everybody in between.

Why fix it? They (probably) got it fair and square. I am, however, very interested if the Bitcoins presumably attributed to Satochi Nakamoto's ever going to be used. That would have a great impact onto the ecosystem.

Hopefully as the Bitcoin price rise these big holders spend more coins so the coins are distributed more evenly. And about 40% of Bitcoins still has to be mined, so you can expect these 40% to be distributed to much more people.

I have a solution for you:

Convince everyone you know and everyone you come in contact with to buy as many BTC as they can afford and to accept BTC as payment for their goods and services.  You personally should buy as many BTC as you can afford and accept BTC for whatever good or service you provide.

All these horrible evil richer than you mother fucking problem people will sell and spend their BTC.

Problem solved.

They took the risks and worked to get us where we are today.  By comparison, what have you done for bitcoin over the past five years?

Tips much appreciated! 1PPJHDawPvjh6MEzsvXrMYLgpLmyAaNXUc
