I have spoken with the “very smart people\" at several FAAAT companies (FB, APPL, AMZN, Alphabet, TLSA – it’s a much better acronym that I’ve been pushing in the hopes in catches on...) who have argued that there is something unfair about bitcoin's holdership distribution - particularly the progressively massive rewards captured by earlier adopters. \n\nYet when I say \"Ok, let say that’s true, then wouldn't that also be true for say, your FAAAT stock? Would you be amenable to redistributing your stock shares to everyone in the world more equally?\" \n\nThe answer, of course and unsurprisingly, is always and hasty and indignant “No.” Then, they’ll make appeals to how long they had to stay at the company, how hard they had to work, or even the difficulty and rigor of the schooling that afforded them the chance to compete for the job at the company as justification for why such redistribution would be unconscionable.\n\nAfter that, I usually just tilt my head and give them a hard stare to see if they get it. Most of them don’t. So what gives? Here we have people who know firsthand the benefits of reward from taking early, successful risk and tout it as a near-divine societal imperative. Yet when you suggest that there may those out there reaping greater rewards, by persevering through a more successful risk dynamic, while conceivably “doing less,” something is suddenly unfair and the curve needs to be smoothed out? What is this? \n\nThis always strikes me has the most bizarre sort of Socialist thinking…interested in yall’s thoughts here.\n#Bitcoin \n\nhttps://i.nostrimg.com/a34dc79af8a776d1373f5879cc9c6113842f5741f8f1ed20701bf10cd9c09927/file.jpeg", "sig": "5a99b3412732cd0ec0d5050b84eec4c148978e51554637e4320fee4952de3d91b43e17a47a11bf44e2e4478e8a0a6aab792f1d07a72268befcc63defed7e80c1" }
