THE WEALTH GAP: Elite Networks Always Escape Consequences—But Regular People Don't
There's a stark reality most people overlook: the top 0.1% operate under completely different rules. In a recent candid interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, a thought-provoking discussion unfolded about inequality in America. The core argument? Those with wealth and connections consistently dodge consequences and come out ahead. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans are getting squeezed.
It's not rocket science—the system is rigged. A tiny elite always finds ways to protect their interests, navigate around obstacles, and maintain their advantage. They win. The rest? They're caught in the grind, bearing the weight of a system that doesn't bend in their favor.
This kind of structural inequality isn't just about money—it reflects deeper issues in how institutions are built and who they actually serve. For anyone watching the financial landscape, especially in decentralized finance and alternative systems, these questions about fairness and access hit differently. When traditional systems fail to distribute opportunity equally, alternatives start looking inevitable.

That's why we need on-chain solutions. Traditional finance is a joke.

Well... this is probably the real reason why more and more people are flocking to crypto.
---
The rules of the game that the elites play are completely different from ours. Have you realized it?
---
The system has long been rotten, do you still expect it to self-repair? Dream on.
---
So the meaning of DeFi's existence lies here, there are no middlemen making a profit.
---
The rules are written for the rich and executed on the poor; this game isn't fair from the start.
---
TradFi is a big eyewash, no wonder everyone is looking for an exit.
---
To be honest, this is why I'm all in on-chain assets.
---
0.1% are playing 4D chess while we are still on the chessboard.
---
What institutions say is all nonsense; only actions can prove everything.

Once you see through it, you know you have to save yourself.

The 0.1% liquidation line is always 0.7 percentage points higher than ours... This is the reality of the risk control mechanism.

Uh, this is what we've been talking about. TradFi is just a big eyewash.
The system itself is completely rotten, no wonder more and more people are turning to web3.
The rules that the elites play by are completely different from ours, it's ridiculous.
That's why you need to self-custody your assets and not trust any centralized institutions.
I've seen through it long ago; honestly hodling is the way to go.
