Something I keep thinking about lately…
If Bitcoin keeps growing over the years and actually becomes a serious part of global finance, who really ends up winning the most?
Is it the people who got in early and held through all the chaos or future users who just inherit a system that’s already stable, global, and deflation-resistant?
Feels like most conversations focus on price, but not really on what happens to wealth distribution long-term.
Would Bitcoin end up leveling things out, or just quietly create a new class of early believers who sit on massive advantage?
Both will be winners but, because we have winners it also means that there will be losers. So not going to talk about the latter and going on with the winners. The early adopters and those who might be quite late but sticked around, they'll be the winners. In the timeline that you're bringing, that might be the case that it is going to create new people that will consider themselves early but it will only be for the next years of their stay. While the early ones have the better situation and are free to sell if they want since they're already in profit but, I don't think that most of us will leave ourselves without anything to hold until we retire.
