I had the thought last night that since Bitcoin's returns are going to be higher than anything else on earth, if the wealthy want to grow their wealth the fastest they just need to HODL and that's it.

Bitcoin absorbs the wealth of the 1% and prevents them from spending most of it because they don't want to lose the massive growth that Bitcoin offers.

Reducing their undeserved influence on the real world.

If they do spend their money then it's okay too, because it boosts the economies of wherever they spend. Spending Bitcoin it like seeding exponentially growing money trees in the budget of the recipient.

The wealthy may actually become sources of good in the world on a Bitcoin standard.

Said differently, Not all wealthy are bad people. They were presented with a system of bad incentives just like the rest of us. Some understand the problem and their role in it but incentives drive behavior and behavior drives outcomes. Now they have a new incentive. Some will figure it out and choose to participate, others won’t.
