Basically the
     future of finance is less humane (Bitcoin is hard currency) and more
     unfair
     (Bitcoin is unfairly distributed). It is also not, in practice,
     distributed

   I suggested on the bitcoin forums and devlist that currency minting be
   the square root of current block hashing power, this would be
   inflationary yes, but it would stabilize the currency and incentize
   mining (unlike current plans to reduce fees further).
   but you know, a hundred people who first heard of bitcoin through the
   cryptography mailing list either lost their bitcoins, or own combined a
   large percentage of bitcoins.
   inequality begets instability.
   the funny thing is that after the next block subsidy cut, a 51% attack
   would easily be committed.
   but if there's a major war, the world's internet connections will be
   disrupted, and bitcoin would probably die in areas in which mining is
   less than the biggest contiguous block of miners.
   Bitcoin is the worst currency to hold during WWIII, you literally
   cannot spend it until the world internet is repaired.
