The inequality on the distribution of wealth is astonishing, even if that graphic only takes in account financial assets and not material goods, including small enterprises, land and houses.
Anyway, bitcoin won't contribute to a more equitable world, on the contrary.
That wasn't my point.
But since you raise it,
if the mainstream entered bitcoin (with their paltry 29% of the wealth) before the 0.111% and then refused to trade with the 0.111% in anything but bitcoin then bitcoin would indeed contribute massively to balancing the inequity in global monetary holdings.
You have been given a tool, a new weapon in an age old struggle, it is up to all of us to choose how to use it.
We both know that most "mainstream" people are not pioneers on technological advances, like bitcoin; they won't arrive first than the financial elite. Most people would have to buy bitcoins at very high prices, making rich the geeks and elites (with good advisers) that arrived first.
And most mainstream people don't have any kind of financial independence that might able them to force the financial elites to do anything. They depend on loans to buy almost anything to try to show to their neighbors how "successful" they are.
And long before a small part of this people were bitcoiners, its price would skyrocket. We just need a small percentage of the wealth to be transferred to bitcoin to provoke astonishing prices increases. Less than 0.1% would be enough.
As stated on the original post, I think bitcoin will just aggravate inequality.
