Bitcoin just like dollars will always be for everyone. Some people will always have more of both dollars and bitcoin. With that, they will exert more control. I guess you could say Bitcoin is for both the new elite and everyone, not just one or the other.
Are you saying that the elite is not part of everyone? |

Either it's for the elite, or it's for everyone (including the elite). Here, I'll settle your argument for both of you. Elite = 1% Everyone = Elite 1% + Non-Elite 99% So not everyone is part of the 1%, but for Bitcoin, it applies to the 100%. |

Yes, but that's just how money works, and Bitcoin was not designed to solve the money distribution problem. The point here is that everyone can use Bitcoin, even if they don't have the big amount early adopters have. What problem is this? |

As of now, Bitcoin is surely not for everyone. It takes a lot of time and effort to educated the average person of what Bitcoin is, how it works, etc. Eventually, I'm sure many of us hope (alongside I) that this won't be a problem anymore and that Bitcoin will be adopted as a worldwide currency.

It should be for everyone. Everyone can get in right now. The world doesn't really work like that though. Assuming it ever goes prime time, by the time it's ready for everyone an elite will be entrenched.
That's how it is for most things and always will be. A small group does the heavy lifting and the masses pour in once their hard work bears fruit.

Yes... that is the sad part. It is very easy to steal Bitcoins, even from highly secure exchanges. In the past 12 months time, some BTC2 million has been stolen, and that represents 15% of the BTC market cap. |

Voted for elite only. I don't like this, but this is the reality. Cca 90% of the world population are unable to use it and 90% of the internet users doesn't really care. If you take a look at the BTC distribution you will see that most coins are concentrated in very few hands. These factors are inevitably going to lead (or already led) to the formulation of a small elite who owns most bitcoins.

This is why the question in the poll says “should be”, not “is”. |
