I really had this question in my mind and wanted to ask was that one of the core principle and aim of Bitcoin is providing equal services and treat people equally without discrimination. But If we look at it from the perspective of "Power" it is creating a new generation of people who hold power I.e the early adaptors of Bitcoin (whales) who hold significant economic influence because they accumulated Bitcoin was undervalued.
So is it really solving the problem of inequality or Creating a new generation of people who hold power and shifting the inequality into a new form?( New Elites?)
Would love to hear your thoughts.
This isn't about power directly, it's about giving power to equal right to financial freedom and break you away from the chains of the government and their central banks. Bitcoin is more concern about decentralization where there is no sovereignty to any person but to every individual, you get to send Bitcoin without anyone given you command, you receive when you like without anyone approval and you keep without giving it to another person to hold for when they can still charge you for holding it.
The above is equal right to free finance, the inequality you are talking now comes down to how individuals view it, those that invested in Bitcoin before now that still holding are the people that enjoy that financial right, but there are investors today like the institutional with large money that can flow into Bitcoin, you don't expect those people to be the same with an ordinary retailer but that doesn't make them special, we will all be enjoying the same privilege like other people with big investment, it's the way their Bitcoin is decentralized mine is also decentralized, we both can send and receive and many more without any instances.
