It's interesting to look at wealth distribution of Bitcoin: http://imgur.com/Vt7PvbW (source: http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.h...). 4% of users own 95.09% of currently available Bitcoins. I think that as the number of users increases so will value of Bitcoin in USD, wealth distribution will only get worse while making top even richer. Even if wealth distribution doesn’t bother you, consider that part of these users(4%) mined/gathered it in questionable ways(mining via compromised systems). Early adopters gaining large part of Bitcoin for little effort seems silly too. I personally consider this unacceptable.
