why bitcoin started just like this
before spreading bitcoin the author should have given every human being in the planet 1 BTC
but it turned out that only the ones who knew about bitcoin could buy or get it even for free
but how about the majority who didnt even knew about bitcoin
and now the situation is even worse there is a huge Gap between extremely rich and extremely poor
is this what the author of bitcoin wanted? an unfair distribution of wealth?
he knew how impactful the bitcoin will be
This is a powerful reflection, and I believe it highlights one of the most misunderstood aspects of Bitcoin's early days.
Bitcoin wasn’t launched with a big marketing budget or airdrops — it was an experiment in decentralisation. In 2009, no one knew it would become what it is today. The idea of giving every human 1 BTC sounds fair in theory, but in practice, there was no central authority or funding to make that happen. Bitcoin had to be earned, mined, or accepted — it wasn’t handed out by design.
That said, you’re right about the gap. Early adopters benefited massively, and many people in underdeveloped regions didn’t have access to the internet or the knowledge to participate. But that doesn’t mean Bitcoin is inherently unfair. It actually gives everyone today — regardless of background — the chance to participate in a financial system outside of government control.
Maybe the question we should ask now is: how do we use Bitcoin to bridge wealth gaps going forward, rather than dwell on how it started?
Curious to hear your thoughts on that.
