Here's an intriguing calculation: imagine dedicating $1,000 to every baby born over the next four years as part of a blockchain-linked incentive program. The math? Even with such a massive population-scale initiative, a certain tech billionaire could theoretically cover the entire cost and still maintain roughly 98% of his current wealth intact. It's a striking reminder of just how staggering wealth concentration has become in the crypto and tech era. The comparison highlights the sheer scale difference between individual fortunes and population-level policy spending. Whether such initiatives would ever materialize through Web3 mechanisms or traditional channels remains speculative, but the numbers themselves are worth thinking about—they illustrate both the potential and the questions around how concentrated capital could theoretically address societal challenges.

Wow, this number is really shocking... A person can casually spend and issue coins to global infants? The wealth gap has reached this extent, it's really unbearable.

A billionaire's pocket money could fund an airdrop for all newborns around the world; how ridiculous is that number... That said, it would be interesting if Web3 could really achieve this level of wealth redistribution.

Can people like Musk really change the world just by throwing money at it? This logic is truly absurd...

A billionaire can send money to newborns around the world with just a small amount, this wealth inequality is really something... If you ask me, rather than waiting for their charity, it's better to quickly implement Decentralization and disperse the power.
