I'm late to this party, but...
between all the people?
I don't see the reason why a few people who were the first could gain a big share of the coins and people who want to buy coins now have to pay for them. and why would people will cooperate with such system.
I mean I only heard about this today, I would participate earlier if I knew about it.
Someone may have invested - and risked - their $500 back in April 2011, you can invest - and risk much less - $500 today. It is perfectly fair. Furthermore, unlike dollars, euros, or dinars,
anyone is welcome to start "printing" new coins under the same rules - doesn't get more fair than that. Finally, those who have coins can only enjoy the benefits by spending them into the hands of others - yours included.
So, think again. Bitcoin is much more fair than you thought.
