Thanks for reading the topic beyond the title guys, I can see why people complain about this forum Roll Eyes

I know why black people don't use bitcoins, its because bitcoiners are almost exclusively nerdy white guys. What I'm asking: In the future when bitcoin is in everyday use (and each coin is therefore massively valuable), the early adopters holding lots of currency are going to wield tremendous power in society. Would the lack of diversity amongst this group not be dangerous for wider society? It would be like only allowing white males to vote.

Even if it isn't going to be dangerous, will it be percieved to be dangerous? In this age of unparalled equality of opportunity, will the rest of the world happily accept a new economic order in which (surprise!) white guys are right at the top again? These are legitimate questions.

For some reason, this guy is giving me a hard-on. There is nothing stopping a single black guy or gal from coming along and busting this Bitcoin thing wide open. Are you telling me that if a black person came along and starting implementing an excellent idea, the nerdy white folks here will suppress his or her idea?

Post 21, here I ~~cum~~ come.

PS: Hockey should be banned. And NASCAR. And boycott Lord of the Rings. And no conventions in Argentina unless there are 50% blacks in the audience. And don't watch the Jetsons. And quit reading the Watchtower and Awake.
