Being at the top of anything globally is something to be celebrated. It marks an elite status in something nearly everyone on earth has access to. It is small, average-minded thinking that associates elitism with powerful, bad actors. If you have a whole coin and don’t want to be in the top 0.01%, sell some and descend down the ladder.

What proverbial ladder? Whether or not I own a full coin surely doesn't dictate my superiority over another individual. Correct me if I'm wrong here but with that logic then Mr Saylor is roughly half a million times more 'elite' than I am. I fully appreciate the need for competition for example in sports or academia which involves an extraordinary display of proof of work to be classed as an elite and also facilitates progression and drive but in a base monetary system that as far as I can understand was created for the proverbial common good, then wouldn't you agree that it's slightly narcissistic to refer to yourself as an elite? That would also mean that even individuals that have never even heard of bitcoin as of this very moment could simply be advised that its beneficial to buy bitcoin tomorrow and by Tuesday you would class them as elite purely based on the fact that they had the fiat financial means to do so. I'm possibly being naive here but I reckon that attitude towards bitcoin has a strong affinity to the phrase " ah well mate, have fun staying poor!"

You’ve projected a sense of morality into the conversation that no one was talking about. I’ve made zero mention of superiority outside an objective measure of it via BTC ownership. Those with more are superior to those with less.
