Really does this look like a level field. http://www.bitcoinrichlist.com/top100?page=1 The first thousand addresses control over 1/3rd of all bitcoins. I only played with bitcoin a little maybe $10,000 and have about 25 to 30 addresses. How many of the first 1000 or 10,000 are owned buy the same people? My point is only the developers, big miners, exchanges and scammers make money. Hell the us dollar is spread out more than bitcoin. Take it as you want but the whole cryptocoin industy was set up to make a few people rich. IT IS THE BIGGEST PONZI SCHEME EVER SETUP.
