I think that it has become very difficult to get into crypto over the last couple or three years simply because of the rapid price increase. That's great for early adopters, certainly, but now prices are so high even on some of the best altcoins that those with less resources will have problems entering the crypto world. That's not to say it's not possible to buy some relatively cheap new altcoin that eventually skyrockets, but that's a lot easier said than done.
I guess you are wrong on that. You maybe correct if you said Bitcoin alone but crypto means all cryptocurrency including Bitcoin and altcoin. Though they might be some argument about getting into bitcoin is still easy because it does not need us to buy a whole of it (1 BTC) rather we can buy smaller chunks. Altcoins are far cheaper than Bitcoin so that would be an option if we still wants to get in cryptocurrency and have no capability to buy a whole of bitcoin (that is if you want to buy 1 whole coins/token)
I guess Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is not the great equalizer for the reason that it can still be exploited by rich people. Rich people getting richer and poor people left behind. Remember before anyone can access cryptocurrency, they need to have to meet the minimum requirement, that is to have a gadget and an internet. Poor people are having difficulty to acquire these, worst they really cannot buy these things.
