If poor people have nothing there are no ways to acquire Bitcoin.

The key is earning in Bitcoin.

That's what gets people excited about it. As it stand some wee genius in rural Niger is going to have a seriously hard time monetising his skills and presenting them to the rest of the world. With Bitcoin and an internet connection he can instantly compete with anyone else anywhere.

To a much smaller extent we see that with people earning on this forum right now with signature campaigns and all the other stuff. They're now part of an economy that didn't exist before and some of them will be making much, much more money than any job available to them locally.

This is very true I always tought Bitcoin brings opportunity for people from 3d world country's where the payments for labor are very low, even if it is 5$ a day it will probably be more then they would earn in their home country, but they probably have to spend it right away, and in my opinion it is probably best to hold.

I always laugh at articles like these. Not because the wealth inequality, but because people don't understand what the actual problem is, and that crypto will never make a difference. In fact, crypto wealth inequality is far worse than fiat wealth inequality. By the time the poor acknowledge the value of Bitcoin, most of the upside potential is already jammed in the price.

Don't look at how poor others are, but look at how you can improve your own situation. The far majority of the people will always lag behind the rich when it comes to their wealth, so even if there is an actual improvement on the side of the poor, it's still not enough to statistically push back the wealth % the rich owns. Their wealth grows harder than yours does. That's how things are.

So you are basicly saying the poor always will stay poor because they dont have the wealth or knowledge to become rich?
It is probably true tho, like someone without a pc doesn't even have acces to the internet and would never even be able to get Cryptocurrency.
This statement fits right in: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

What would be the most fair way of dividing a cryptocurrency so the whole world is actually part of it and gets wealth?

basically dividing a cryptocurrency to the whole world its doesn't change anything,poor people will sell it immediately when it have a value,then who buying it will be give a small of wealth to the seller,but as the time goes a buyer will be more wealthy,and we back to richest poorest people scheme. because basically wealth is relative thing.

I thought about that as well what would happen if there is a cryptocurrency that gives a equal amount to every person in the world, for every new born person in the world at 18, and it will always be available to you even if you didnt pick it up at the start.

I guess you have a interesting take on it which is probably true where poor people would just sell it right away because they need money, where people who are more wealthy could save it for later because they dont really need it right away.

What if it would be a Cryptocurrency you couldnt sell every person on earth gets them.
Lets say 1 Earthcoin With that Earthcoin every person mines 2000 Worldcoins salary/divident every week/month.
