We all wonder: will a #Bitcoin-based economy just recreate today’s inequalities with a new elite? Or can sound money truly shift the balance toward value creation over wealth hoarding? 💪🏻

"#Bitcoin Appeals to the Old System's Greatest Flaw," and turns it into Bitcoin's strength... a fantastic read and conversation on this one 👏

People grasp hardest at what is most fleeting.

Terminally sick visit the beach or go skydiving, to grasp the last bit of life.

Those that live every day as their last don’t grasp life with urgency, instead they steadily enjoy it in entirety.

Similarly, dollar was created to be ungraspable. It was created to feel scarce to the masses, while being infinitely abundant to the elite. Dollar was created to divide and manipulate.

So maybe #btc will create a new elite, but that elite will be those that “get it.” Look at the Nostr demographic; I’ll take an elite made of these gardeners and artists that take sats for v4v over the inbred power hungry families that hoard endless supplies of dollar any day.

Inequality will always exist.

The question is, is it because the game is rigged and scammy, or because the winners deserve to be there on merit?

And can others climb the ladder and become wealthy with vision, hard work and some luck, or are they barred to do so by onerous regulation, discrimination, artificial barriers, etc?

Sound money should help. But it won't eliminate inequality. Iy will just make inequality the only kind it should be: fair.

By fair I mean, you get out what you put in. And you are rewarded for it.
