why would it benefit few? Anyone can buy it - similar to gold, but more practical. The fiat system on the other hand benefits few because of the Cantillon effect.

That's a great point, Bitcoin is open to all, but early adopters and large holders benefit the most, as new entrants buy at higher prices. While it avoids fiat’s Cantillon Effect, it still leads to wealth concentration due to limited supply, volatility, and accessibility barriers. True democratization requires broader, fairer distribution in my humble opinion.

what makes you think 21M * 10^8 sats are not enough for all people? Add another 10^3 fraction for lightning msats. This is the only "technical" limitation of bitcoin when it comes to spreading it to everyone. It's not bitcoin fault that majority of people *still* don't want to stack satoshis despite pitching it for the past, what 15 years?
