Come on, it's a raspberry pi not an iphone. Those things are for tinkerers who live by "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is".

So is it like a status symbol to have 1 BTC? Is that the point of bitcoin now?

I remember years ago it was advertised as a way to "bank the unbanked" and help with remittance payment for migrant laborers and such, seeing as how money transfer services screw you over directly proportionately to how poor you are. Or for people who are cut off from SWIFT to have more financial access.

That worked really well! I got a 50gb partition with about 30gb free space into a 10gb zipped image. Is there any way to show progress during the operation like with dd's status=progress?

No doubt that's appealing to some (one example is the USA civil rights movement in the 1960s, especially with states conforming to federal laws that mandate desegregation of schools) but I think another advantage for the privileged is the lack of competition for good jobs, study places etc.. If 50% of your peers are kept in slums then just by biological outcomes (lack of nutrition and sleep) the odds are very much in your favor. Throw in the psychological effects of poverty, mass incarceration, addiction and you have a situation like a running race where half the contestants have a broken leg. Fear of a level playing field might be another factor in why the privileged don't want equal rights. BUT, imagine if we had 50% more people working on a cure for cancer etc.

It's funny because extending rights to marginalized people does not by any means diminish the rights of the privileged.
