There is nothing secretive about such a group. Please stop the speculation. There's access for everyone - as long as you continuously add value and quality.
There is no magic BTC cap, there is no requirement of last name or ownership of large properties. All it requires is that you behave like an intelligent adult that wants to do something good in this world, and see Bitcoin as a mean for that.
It's not hidden, by all means. Do at least a bit of homework, before attacking.
These sorts of posts are contributing to why people want to have some breathing space, as to let the minds ponder, away from non-constructive noise.
That would require a level of naivety that I haven't possessed since I was a teenager.
Not much 'good' will come from Bitcoin.
Just another heavily cornered financial asset masquerading as some kind of digital currency of liberty.
Some people at least try. You come off as too cynical and pessimistic. I feel sorry for you, and I am probably not he only one on this board.
Here's a hint. If, just IF it was supposed to be a secretive elitist place - why would people try and spread it out? A finger is being put up in the air to feel sentiments. Those who are most interested will find their way.
If you see a group sitting on the grass, having a quiet piece of mind and discussion, do you automatically wonder why they are not jumping up and down and waiving flags to get the attention of the whole school yard, so they can to get them over and join their activity?
