We at least know the names of big corporations. Otherwise "we're forced to play the BitCoin game which just consolidates power to big anonymous holders and leaves a lot of people all over the world left behind".

85% of the BitCoins have already been mined. It's beyond the reach of people to participate in mining. What's left is pure speculation, based on the available supply. There's also a "culture" of HODL which means the actual exchange rate is determined by very few (big) sellers.

Even if the 'BitCoin' <sic> is distributed exactly the same as money is now the 80/20 Where 20% of the population control 80% of the money.

Wouldn't it be better if your money (that was BitCoin <sic>) increased 2% a year instead of decreased 2% a year?
