. It's unfair to people NOW because the only possible way to get any is from signature campaigns and such.


Bitcoin is a form of money.

Are you saying it's unfair that people have to actually earn their money by providing some kind of value?
Or, are you saying early adopters shouldn't have been rewarded for their risk in putting their time and energy into an unproven technology and helping Bitcoin get to where it is now?

What are you saying?

Sure we all wish we were adopters in 2009.  Hindsight is always 20x20.
But to say it's "unfair" makes you look like a whiner or a freeloader.

More than unfair what's being discussed is it was just pure fucking luck. Most people that got rich forgot about their wallets and got the coins for mundane shit, such as buying drugs in SilkRoad or mining some for shits and giggles, not because they knew the price would explode.
