I can feel you and I share your frustration. But the government does not intentionally limit the wage so that we cannot invest on crypto with big amounts just like the rich are doing.

To be fair, Bitcoin was worth 0.0005 cents or even much lower when it first came out. Where were the people at that time, especially those who have heard of it? Everybody can afford it. But only too few bought or mined or got it from faucets and other sources. Right now, it is hard pointing fingers. We also have had our failures.

Agreed. It's not like the government is eyeing every investment we are trying to get into. Heck, they probably want us to be a bit richer so they don't need to bribe us with money they can keep for themselves.

I think so, too. I guess the government is going to become happier if the people are richer. The economy is going to be more vibrant, businesses would be thriving, taxes are increasing, and so on. There is going to be less beggars around, unemployed, protests due to low wage and poor services, sick people, and so on.

This thread is very applicable in China, I say China as an example because we all know that they are Communist country. They don't want their people to become richer that the people in their Government. In their country, they collect people's money so that everyone has the same kind of living. They don't want their people to become successful and achieve everything with their money, same in bitcoin. Bitcoin has a lot of potential to help people, but the government stop them.

China's primary product before it has awakened into a modern economic dragon is labor, cheap labor, dirt cheap labor to be exact. That made the government rich and the people dirt poor. And the country has unlimited supply of that product. Factories, manufacturing centers, and other products from all over the world are moving their businesses to china because of that.

I guess you are correct. What happens when the people of china will become rich? Would they still work like robots or machines just for a few pennies? I don't think so.
