All must be equal, then we will be free! Use violence if necessary, it will leads us right into utopia.
Naive to think otherwise.

How long until you must be registered and licensed to write smart contracts?
Or any code at all? This is an attack on open source software no matter how you cut it.
It is naive to think the rise of cryptocurrencies will help anyone but large companies specialised at scamming retail investors, and of course criminal organisations. As bad as the IMF policies might be, this isn't the solution.
What do you recommend? This seems like the singular usecase of cryptocurrency.

This outcome was as obvious as it was inevitable.
There is no mechanism in crypto to reject incoming funds, and all the top addresses are public.
Anyone could easily send the top 100,000 wallets “tainted” crypto.
Grin [1] requires interactivity between both parties to transact.

people dont consider instamines any less unfair than premines
there is zero consensus on fair and therefore it is impossible to have a fair launch
all outcomes result in consolidation unless inflation/dilution is extremely high and uninteresting
Grin wasnt instamined or premined. One new coin per second is mined forever starting day one. So it is pretty interesting and very high inflation and widely considered to be the most fair distribution to date.
I think at this stage it's impossible to fairly distribute a coin to new users.
Bitcoin was born into a unique environment. The world did not know what to think, and largely ignored it, so it was able to spread organically for years, detached from any notion it would ever be worth anything. Because it had no value, it could grow without having to worry about these kinds of attacks. Only once it spread far enough did it begin to take on economic value and an exchange rate, reaching one penny and beyond.
Airdrops these days do the exact opposite. They're premined, listed day 1 on exchanges, and the creators try to pump the exchange rate in order to finance later development. The entire process is corrupted by users viewing projects through an economic lens, and creators trying to extract value before delivering value. Now that the cat is out of the bag, it's likely the conditions of bitcoin's creation will never happen again.
Are you saying you think bitcoin was fair? That seems hard to support.

> literally the (killer feature)
vs
> (literally the killer) feature
A "killer feature" is a phrase with its own meaning so we can treat it as an atom and apply modifiers to it. The order of operations matters, and I posit that the OP placed their imaginary parentheses as I did in my first example.
No. There is no such thing as a "literally killer feature" unless it is some feature that can cause death. A killer feature in this case is exclusively figurative and adding "literally" is wrong to do.

If it actually takes that long, we have far bigger problems, because that means technological advance has halted or regressed. In that case, it will die suddenly whenever electricity goes up and price/coin goes down long enough that all non-criminal mining operations shut down and investors panic.
How could that limit be reached faster with better technology?

What says you are not in a simulation right now ? Does it make any difference ?
It would make a huge difference ta find out tomorrow all of this was simulated for some arbitrary end.
If your body is not damaged enough. It would mean a lot of people would become really risk averse. If generalized it would fossilize a society really fast.
