You might be right. That aspect might not be much different. There will always be elites with some richer than others in either system. But the major difference is they have no direct control over it like they do with fiat. We move in the direction of more fairness:
#1 Cant print more out of thin air.
#2 Cant stop you from transacting with it.
#3 Cant be confiscated.
One major attack surface on Bitcoin though is it's lack of privacy which weakens #2 and #3
Once people become smarter, or governments get wise to this it’s an easy game to track down biggest accounts, assassinate the hodlr, and claim tokens.
Not an issue yet (maybe it is?) v but eventually?
It's a never ending arms race with privacy and tech. I think it will ebb and flow.
Yes, exactly, which is why I think privacy is so important and you can't have freedom without it. This is already showing itself to be an issue. China and India government stance on crypto come to mind. Remember the Canadian Trucker protest Bitcoin donations?
But it's not just government, but other non-state adversaries to be wary of as well.
