I see people this has been the case for much of history and I do sort of agree. We can't force bitcoins to be redistributed, nor should we. I still think we can get to a point where income inequality can be reduced. There's more opportunities now to earn money by selling products and services online and cryptos have made this easier. In a sense money is more liquid than ever and can flow farther than before.

The key is earning in Bitcoin.
That's what gets people excited about it. As it stand some wee genius in rural Niger is going to have a seriously hard time monetising his skills and presenting them to the rest of the world. With Bitcoin and an internet connection he can instantly compete with anyone else anywhere.

It did "democratized" work same way that crowdfunding did for bankrolling businesses. The internet has been around for a long time but the introduction of bitcoins and other cryptos after has allowed people an alternative way of receiving their pay. Being able to jump over the need for banks since the wallet can be cashed out directly in other establishments is also a great benefit in a world where majority of people are still unbanked.
