      My view on wealth concentration - bitcoin is an emerging monetary system, it started with a GINI of 1 and decreases over time - 'fairdrops' don't work; see the voucher programs in the USSR - the best thing you can hope for is equality of opp. and no seignorage (bitcoin has both)

      - long term holders sell out as their wealth increases. this is empirically observable in Bitcoin (@unchainedcap's Hodl waves analysis makes this point) - this is a natural and organic force which disperses supply

      - wealth concentration is something to worry about if wealth can be transformed into political power, because you kick off a feedback loop of wealth -> power -> discretion over system features -> more wealth - luckily, bitcoin manifestly does NOT care if you are wealthy

      what about the fact that coinbase has 10% of all bitcoin in circulation? wealth != power the way it is in the US, buuut exchanges did have significant influence over ETH vs ETC.

      If coinbase listed bcash as "bitcoin" and delisted bitcoin (BTC), most of their customers prob would not have understood the difference

      Yet another good reason why proof-of-work is superior to proof-of-stake.
