“It” isn’t “home” to anything. Bitcoin is just a distributed ledger by which cooperating individuals store wealth. “

And guess who owns the first few million bitcoins!

Did you have a point, or is this just throw away FUD? The fact is that no one knows who mined those "first few million" bitcoin as the mining process is somewhat anonymous. It is thought that the original developer (or developers) mined about a million, but that is just a guess.

So, what is your concern if someone develops and invests in an invention and subsequently reaps a benefit?

Who owns the first few million ounces of gold? Who owns the first few million dollars? What point are you trying to make?

The soundness of Bitcoin comes from the fact that there is no way to inflate it beyond its mathematical limit of twenty one million.
