Those who acquired bitcoin in early days got larger share in less price. Later when there are very less bitcoins left to be mined and prices are astronomically high, it will be hard to acquire even fractions of bitcoins. Where is equality concept associated with bitcoin then ?

That on its own is kind of fair game, isn't it? Early believer got to hold big amount of bitcoin because they are early believers.

People who came in late got lesser amount because they believe too late and when things already good.

Remember that early believer faced so many fud and insult by just holding bitcoin but they keep holding it.

Equality doesn't mean everybody should get the same amount of bitcoin, just equality of opportunity is enough.

When people talk about fairness in Bitcoin a lot of the debate comes from the fact that early adopters were able to buy or mine large amounts at a very low cost while those who discover it later have to spend much more money for a much smaller share but that is a pattern seen in almost every new technology or investment early believers who take the biggest risk usually also get the biggest reward because they are the ones who put faith into something that had no guarantee of success.

Back when Bitcoin first appeared most people laughed at it or dismissed it as useless those who still decided to get involved faced constant doubt negativity and uncertainty there was no clear sign that Bitcoin would grow into something valuable or widely accepted so their large gains today are also a result of the risk they carried years ago on the other hand people who came in late had the benefit of seeing Bitcoin already working and already recognized so their risk was lower but the price was naturally much higher.

The equality in Bitcoin is not about everyone owning the same amount but about everyone having the same chance to get involved the system itself does not close the doors for anyone anyone with internet and a smartphone can still buy hold or use Bitcoin at any time whether it is a whole coin or just a small fraction in that sense the opportunity remains open what changes is the cost of entry which is true for almost any scarce resource or valuable asset the earlier you enter the better your position but the door is not locked for those who arrive later.
