The opportunity definitely exists for people to be able to get from Hive what they are willing to put into Hive. It may not exactly be a meritocracy, but it's closer than most opportunities.

Technically speaking- at least according to our local property tax assessor- we're one-percenters because in some fantasy world this house we paid about $225K for with cash is now "worth" $1MM+. But it means nothing because we can barely afford to live here anymore.

Such comparisons are always relative.

The thing I find telling is that the aggregate crypto market cap slowly grows, even in this bear Market. If we have another 2017 style run, we could be looking at at $10T market cap, making crypto a huge asset class on the global stage.
