Wouldn't it be more fair if the bitcoins were shared equally?
Bitcoins ARE shared equally. Anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute, use, and mine - under equal conditions. You can't do that with dollars, euros, gold, uranium, diamonds, sea shells, or potatoes. You can with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is intrinsically fair. Also, this thread sucks ass.
I don't get it. How are bitcoins and gold different in this regard? Anyone is free to mine gold too. And everyone doesn't have an equal opportunity to mine Bitcoin. For example, some live in areas where electricity is drastically overpriced.
