Fun fact: Crypto inequality is *significantly worse* than traditional wealth inequality!

The top 1% of Americans own 30.4% of total US Wealth.
The top 1% of Crypto users own 80%+ of total Crypto Wealth.

"Crypto makes us all owners" is a narrative being driven by crypto elites. For Bitcoin, the top 0.36% of wallets own 86% of all bitcoins.
