That idea is a better one than this overblown mining arms race we have going now. Those who don't own a computer can still use it by borrowing a phone/computer (yes they have those in the third world too - even some villages without electricity have cell phones that they might have to walk for many kilometers to recharge).
Birthcoin.
The devil's in the details though. What cheap, affordable and reliable biometric is there to use? Would we have to rely on government population databases?
You are free not to use bitcoin,
And that will be true until the heat death of the universe. Some of the people investing in bitcoin assume that there's some mythical future where it will the only medium of exchange. That is silly.
Sure, but the OP isn't complaining that he can't receive bitcoin in exchange for services. He's complaining that nobody will give him something for free that has already established a significant value.
No, he's complaining that it didn't start out more or less evenly distributed, and that a bunch of cryptocurrency nerds mined most of it in the beginning. It's a valid complaint from somebody who's considering adopting Bitcoin as a replacement currency, and that's one of the reasons why the current incarnation of Bitcoin won't be the currency of the future. It's only good as a niche payment system online.
