I want to second what was said by Xandry. Whether rich or poor, smart people convert their funds into assets. You are talking about only rich, but I am talking about smart. I wasn't very rich; you can say I was a middle-class citizen who worked abroad once a day. Once I was introduced to the crypto world, I found the way to earn extra money. And learn to increase my portfolio from trading and holding. So I am not very rich, but I have enough now for whatever I really need. I built my own home, and the money was converted to crypto assets. Means my portfolio is still increasing.
So even if you are poor, you can still try smartly. I know it's hard to invest in Bitcoin for poor people, but it doesn't prevent you from earning. Being poor doesn't prevent you from developing your skill and selling your skill. If you don't want to die as a poor person, then work hard. Don't depend on a single income source. Don't blame politicians; you can't change anything. Rather develop yourself and convert money to crypto to hold it longer.
