Yes, it's definitely interesting to consider how rhetoric has played a role in shaping public opinion around blockchain and cryptocurrency. The hype surrounding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies certainly led to many people investing in them without really understanding the technology or the potential risks involved.

As for traditional financial wealth being lost, that's hard to say. It's true that some people have lost money due to risky investments in crypto, but others have also made significant gains. And with regards to redistribution, I can see where you're coming from - some might argue that transferring wealth from one group of people (such as traditional investors) to another (such as early adopters of crypto) is unjust. However, others might view it differently - as a leveling of the playing field or a way for new voices and perspectives to be heard.

In any case, blockchain and cryptocurrency are still relatively new technologies with many unknowns. It remains to be seen how they will impact society in the long run!
