Well of course I am part of the elite, I always been. What is new is that everyone can be part of it. Bitcoin is open to everyone.
It doesn't matter your background and education. Anyone can learn. Information is free and transparent.
It doesn't matter how much you invest in, everyone can invest and make a profit.
"Bitcoin is open to everyone"
Nope, its not. Well maybe for a few entitled kids who got everything from their parents it is. But for the majority of the world's population it isn't. The majority of the world population doesn't have a computer, even less people have internet, and most people don't have any money to buy bitcoins with, because they use all their money for food and still they starve.
I always get a little angry, if I see entitled kids from rich parents claiming everything is for free. The world doesn't work like that. Try to look beyond the little box you live in, pal.
I think everyone that lives in a developed country with access to the internet is part of an "elite" crowd already in a way. We can get philosophical about this. But I think the main point is that anyone that can afford to buy a few lattes at their local Starbucks can log into free internet there and buy Bitcoin. It is fairly accessible to anyone, regardless of how entitled the person is. The question of course is how much can they buy? They should be able to buy at least $5 worth if they just forgo one Frappuccino. But I do agree the the open to "everyone" was exaggerated when thinking in global terms.
