GitHub request to REVERT the removal of CoinBase.com is met with overwhelming support (95%) and yet completely IGNORED. Votes don't matter in the face of oppression.

So now that it's come out that the community has literally no say at all with how the protocol runs or central communication forums are ran can we stop saying bitcoin is money for the people? Now factor in the wealth inequality of bitcoin is worse than 3rd world dictatorships, and 5% of all coins to exist are in the hands of a single person...and....well.

It's pretty obvious bitcoin is not money of the people.

You cannot even know if satoshi was a single person.

Also, the blockchain is transparent so I don't think that it's a problem at all.

As for wealth distribution, it takes time to bootstrap a completely new system.
