gollark: I was considering GTech™ GCryptocurrency™, for purposes.
gollark: You could do something where it gets distributed to low-balance accounts/addresses/whatever, but the issue with this is that that do not remotely correspond to people and can't be made to.
gollark: Well, people with extant money to "stake" attain additional money.
gollark: It basically makes "the rich get richer" an invariant.
gollark: I see. This doesn't make cryptocurrencies bad themselves, though.
