Re: Why didn't Satoshi Nakamoto just give 10 BTC to everyone in the world for free?

Why couldn't they set the max number of total BTC to maybe 50 or 100 Billion and just send 10 free BTC to every email or IP address in the world
Think about this for a while, and you'll realize why it wouldn't work. There's no true correlation between IP addresses, email addresses, and people. If you think it would work, I challenge you to do one of the following:

1) Send an email to every email address in the world.
2) Send a message to every IP address in the world.

Good luck!  Smiley
