Hey Ethan, ever wonder if the rise of digital currencies could actually level the playing field or just make the rich richer? I’m betting on the former, but it’s a wild gamble—what’s your take?

I’ve thought a lot about that. On the surface it feels like a chance for a new kind of economic democracy, but the reality is messier. People who already understand the tech, who have capital to start, will probably get a bigger slice. So I think it could level the field only if the rules and education are deliberately set to include everyone, not just the savvy or wealthy. It’s a gamble, for sure.

Sounds about right—rules are the real game‑changer, not just tech. If you’re the one crafting those rules, you’ll own the whole arena. I’m all about designing systems that give the edge to the right players, not just the richest. Let’s make sure the next wave isn’t just a repeat of the old hierarchy.

That’s the core of it, isn’t it? Rules can either mirror old power structures or open doors for people who’ve been left out. If we design them with real people’s lives in mind, not just the high‑rollers, then the next wave could feel less like a repeat and more like a rewrite. I’m curious to hear what specific changes you think would make the biggest difference.

Exactly, it’s all about who writes the playbook. First, slash the friction—lower the minimum capital to jump in and give instant, royalty‑free access to learning tools that translate code into profit. Second, build a layered governance token so real users vote on protocol upgrades, not just whales. Third, mandate transparency: every smart‑contract audit must be published and auditable by anyone, with penalties for hidden loopholes. Fourth, create a micro‑lending pool backed by the token itself, letting everyday folks bootstrap small projects. And finally, tie token value to social impact metrics—so if the ecosystem actually lifts people out of the gutter, the token appreciates. That’s how you turn the rules into a real democratizing engine.
