It is a sad situation where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are my hope to break out of a life of living paycheck to paycheck. If it really is a success, we can turn a corner and improve our lives.
At some point the wealth will be too centralized and in the hand of the richest people, while poor people struggle to make their ends meet as well as following the flow of consumerism which lately has become a trend to be really consumtive I doubt things will get any better soon, bitcoin in the other hand is a currency and not a magic tool to fix the wealth gap.
