It's not the same, I don't mind people buy things that get higher value in the future. This is not the case here, Money doesn't have a value on it's on, it's the ability to get things from it, that give it a value. This is about a currency system that wants to replace the current one, now people can decide if they want to cooperate with it or keep using the current one, and if people feel that the system made in such a way that some people will be richer than the others only because they invented it or were the first to join, people won't want to join it, and if people won't join it this system can't live, and the people also know they can harm the system by not joining it.


Not only do you not understand Bitcoin, you don't even understand what money generally is.  What you want to do is literally impossible.  Yet, you are free to try it on your own.  We wouldn't try to stop you, although a great many of us are going to be quite amused at your attempts.  If you're right, you'd be a hero.

But you're not right.  Currencies are an amoral tool.  Nothing more, nothing less.  The fact that you disagree with how this one was designed makes no difference at all.  Are you going to claim that you do not use fiat currencies to live?  The nature of those currencies are far worse than anything that you imagine that Bitcoin may be.  That is what the alternative actually is.  What you would wish for is immaterial unless and until you, personally, make it happen.  Right now, what you want is not a choice, and no matter what you say on this forum, Bitcoin isn't going to change to suit your illusions.
