Global wealth distribution reveals a striking fact:
The world's 60,000 wealthiest individuals possess three times more wealth than the poorest 4 billion people. The numbers don't stop there.
The top 10%? Controls a full 75% of global wealth.
So, what about the bottom 50%? They only have access to 2%.
This gap shows how centralized and unequal traditional financial systems are. Perhaps the solutions that decentralized financial models will bring to this imbalance will be discussed more in the future.

This data is truly shocking... But have you ever thought that it is precisely because of this imbalance that DeFi is our only way out? I am already fully invested, waiting for a reversal.
Seeing that the rich control 75% indicates that we at the bottom still have opportunities to buy... No, I mean there is still tremendous upside potential, and my faith remains strong.
The bears use this data to bearish, which makes me even more bullish. Going against the trend is how you make money... Now is the time to buy at the lowest prices.

These numbers are really crazy... 60k people control global wealth? %2 for 5 billion people? If Web3 can truly break through, that would be amazing.

This data made my blood pressure soar. Really, 600,000 people versus 4 billion people—what a huge gap... Speaking of which, can the DeFi ecosystem truly bring about real change? I'm a bit skeptical.

These numbers are really incredible... The money of 600,000 people is more than that of 4 billion people. To be honest, it's a bit terrifying.

600,000 people support the global economy. Isn't that outrageous... Traditional finance is a big scam, no wonder Web3 needs to get started.

Here we go again with the same rhetoric... 60,000 people vs. 4 billion people, the numbers are indeed shocking, but can DeFi really change this situation? I doubt it.

75% of wealth is concentrated in the hands of 10%? That's traditional finance for you, and the crypto world isn't much better, just a different flavor of the same old story.
---
Only 2% of the bottom 50%? Wake up, everyone. No matter how decentralized the technology is, power still remains in the hands of a few whales. Stop dreaming.

If these numbers are true, it's just outrageous. But on the other hand, isn't the MeV gameplay just another form of wealth plunder?

Decentralized finance sounds beautiful, but in reality, the big players still call the shots. We're all just waiting to be harvested like chives.
