but it sure does contribute it's own fair share of financial freedom and makes the rich richer and the poor,rich
I don't agree with you on this. Even if I'm rich,have money but I don't believe in the technology then it's still useless and when it comes to the poor that you are referring from, they don't have any interest in investing into crypto for they prefer to use their money to meet their basic needs.
This technology is built as an alternative to a corrupt centralized system of currency that we currently have not as an investment vehicle.
Frankly speaking, the only people who can benefit to this technology are those people who has the knowledge and willing to take risks whether you're rich or poor.
