The French Revolution can only be against blacks, it is much more relevant now.
Now in the Western world, formally everyone is equal for the law, but there is a division into rich and poor, and there is Matthew's law, according to which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Maybe it is quite correct to call this a class society? And we can expect a French Revolution 2.0, in which cryptocurrencies will play a key role.
It's not a class society if the division isn't designed to be that way but occurs naturally within the realm of freedom of choice. I mean, you can't say that people are divided into fat, skinny, and muscular body types, and the fat will get fatter, and the skinny will get skinnier.There will still be the rich and the poor in every system. The difference is that in capitalism, people can jump between "classes" depending on their ability to make money.
Cryptocurrencies are just e-currencies, basically, so they're just tools that cannot shape or transform society. Only humans have the power to do that.
would we expect cryptocurrency and decentralized assets to play a role in an incoming revolution which would change the current system of classes?

... And we can expect a French Revolution 2.0, in which cryptocurrencies will play a key role.
Why would we expect cryptocurrency and decentralized assets to play a role in an incoming revolution which would change the current system of classes? I dont think it makes much sense. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies which came after Bitcoin have the objective to be a decentralized option for carrying out transactions, but those same decentralized transactions continue to function within the same system of classes in which the capital and the accumulation of capital is the most important thing to keep the gears of society going, you know.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general have little to do with the dethroning of the current system based of capital, the difference is not in the accumulation of capital, rather in the way the capital is administered by each one of the participants of the system, instead banks stockpiling all our money and getting bigger thanks to the trust system.
Does that mean that BRICS will grow? Look at their announcement.

Cryptocurrencies still have the potential to lead a type of revolution which helps many people. For this to happen, people need to learn to stop funding huge, centralized monsters like FTX and the next one to come along.
Class society and capitalism?
A topic closely related to your thread title is the huge gap we already have in this community between the rich and poor. How does that ever change any time soon?

It is generally accepted that European revolutions, especially the French Revolution of 1792, replaced class society (three estates) with a market economy. But I may have read (sorry if I am wrong) that the legal class restrictions (serfdom and the right of the first night) had already been abolished by 1792. The main action of the French revolutionaries (Jacobins) was that they distributed land to the peasants. Without land, the peasants were still very disenfranchised; and the aim of later revolutions was mainly solving the land issue.
