Bitcoin removed the centralised money printer, but a fixed supply doesn’t stop wealth concentrating. Over time, money still tends to accumulate with those who lend it, speculate on it, or control liquidity. That is basically the old problem of usury playing out on a harder money base. What the broader crypto ecosystem did was introduce a different escape hatch: anyone can start a new monetary network. That means new communities can form their own “squad wealth” outside existing power structures. Instead of fighting over one fixed pool forever, people can bootstrap new ones around new ideas, technologies, or cultures. In that sense, crypto isn’t just “everyone gets a money printer”. It’s everyone gets the ability to start a new economic network. If freedom is tied to social mobility, that ability to create new systems matters just as much as having sound money inside one system.
