Partaking in the Bitcoin economy is not the same as being a member of society in a particular nation state. If you find that you cannot use it in an empowering way you could always bail out - the choice is yours.

That is the reality.   Bitcoin is voluntarism at its finest.  People can't be forced to use it.  So people only use it IF it is better than the alternatives.  People are forced to use fiat and that forced use in the fiat world directly contributes to the unequal advantage a tiny minority have over the super majority.   That unearned and unfair advantage is what drives and reinforces the unequal wealth distribution.  
Unequal wealth distribution in the fiat world isn't the problem it is the symptom.   The problem is a system which gives the privileged (forget the 1% we are talking the 0.01%) a benefit and that benefit isn't free it is fully paid by the unprivileged and the worst part is you are forced into that system through a monopoly on violence.
