I was talking to nostr:npub1xnc64f432zx7pw4n7zrvf02mh4a4p7zej3gude52e92leqmw8ntqd43qnl about something similar. People are gonna feel however they feel about races. You can cry about it or you can shatter those stereotypes.

Haha yeah but it's important not to do things solely for the sake of breaking stereotypes. Simply wanting to be a better person must precede wanting to change people's minds. It has to start within. Interestingly, when this happens, you stop caring about changing people's minds regarding what they think of you.

Regarding OP: Partially justified in expecting that Bitcoin will help those who are marginalised.

I say partially because regulations, price controls, taxation, bureacratic meddling with industry and trade, moral policing and weak property rights actually play a big role in keeping the underprivileged where they are, in addition to fiat money and central banking.

No matter how much education a person is given, if he or she cannot put it to use by being productive, lowering time preference, accumulating capital, saving and investing, their condition will not materially or spiritually improve. The state, with its various interventionist policy programs, keep them where they are.

Inequality of various kinds will always exist in a free market or a fully planned economy, because of our subjective preferences, differing circumstances, varied talents and capabilities. That's just how human beings are.

But the thing is, in a free market, those at the lowest rungs always get better economically thanks to an overall improvement in the standard of living, because those at the top do not have their positions guaranteed.

They have to constantly innovate, produce better, and satisfy the mass of consumers in the best possible way to remain where they are.

What I described above is the real 'liberal' position from the enlightenment era, now associated with the term 'libertarian'.

To sum it all up:
