the global reserve currency just owned by a few guys, can you image the future world will be?

You assume that early adopters still hold their Bitcoins. A tiny fraction of them might, most of them have sold (and regretted it, me including).

The Bitcoin traders are estimated to a few hundred million, certainly not "a few". Coinbase alone have approximately 56 million accounts.

The market is constantly crashing and reviving, people refusing to take the risk and buy should not complain afterwards for the new "elite" class. You had your chance (multiple times).

Your regret should be that you sold but didn't buy lower if you really wanted to be on this bandwagon. I bought, sold, and bought again, and sold again many times, and I've made money. So what? There are more intelligent ways to invest and even get better return.

such story could be widely spread that someone bought thousands of bitcoins maybe six or seven years ago, and hold it till now. then he's financial freedom.
