Nope, you are wrong. Pine needles are within reach of everybody, which is exactly why pine needles make a shitty currency.
Interesting argument, but one that favors the rich to generate the wealth only. We could be back to a single control of the printing press which is what crypto tries to break from in its decentralised nature.
You don't have to be rich, but you do need to make an investment. Why would anybody want to buy a currency that is easily created by anybody without making any investments? Sounds worthless to me. When anybody could mine bitcoins with their PC the price of bitcoins was very low. Once you needed to make an investment into expensive mining equipment the price went up. If you make a currency that anybody can easily mine forever the price will forever remain low. Sorry you don't want to make any worthy investments and would rather scam the community with yet another shitcoin.
