Like everything else in techbro culture, it's wonderful in a socialist future, but in a capitalist one, it's another system of control and exploitation.
It is estimated that one account, Satoshi Nakamoto's, holds around 1 million bitcoins. More than anyone else, it's about 1/13th of total bitcoins. If he ever cashed out the market would absolutely crash hard. For example when 26,000 bitcoins were unloaded on it slashed market prices by 10%. We don't know much about Satoshi, if they even have access to the wallet still, but just that idea alone makes it seem even more unpredictable than bitcoin already is.
you thought about buying in 2009? Jesus, I thought I was early first hearing about it in 2011 (fucked it up tho). How did you hear about it, were you on one of the early mailing lists? It's just pretty rare to have been privy to it in 2009.
I heard about it around 2009 because I was big into mocking libertarians, though I didn't have a job or money at the time so I couldn't have invested even if I had wanted to (which I didn't).
1,000,000 bitcoin currently equals ~47 billion dollars. If that's a third of the total, then that means all bitcoin combined is still less than 1 Bezos

It's shitty and pointless in a socialist future too.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme
"These coins will make you rich as long as you hype it up and get ten more people to buy them!"
