Can Crypto Fix Wealth Inequality, or Will It Make It Worse?
Manage episode 478459151 series 3564664
In this episode of the Wirex Podcast, host Lianna Adams digs into one of the most debated questions in the crypto space: can blockchain technology truly address wealth inequality, or is it reinforcing the same power structures it set out to disrupt?
Lianna is joined by Stewart Rogers, Darketing Illuminator at CONFUSION&JOY and Editor-at-Large at Dataconomy, who brings a sharp and honest perspective to the conversation. Together, they explore whether crypto has delivered on its promise of financial inclusion, or simply created a new digital elite.
They discuss:
- The original vision of crypto as a tool for financial freedom
- Whether the technology is empowering the unbanked or amplifying wealth disparities
- The role of DAOs, VCs, and whales in shaping power dynamics
- Why millions remain excluded despite the industry's explosive growth
- What needs to change for crypto to be a true equalizer
A candid and critical look at where crypto stands today—and where it could be headed.
If you're interested in the intersection of tech, money, and social impact, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
