    It’s a common misconception that bitcoin was intended to solve wealth inequality problems.

    It’s main features are being open-source and permission-less IMHO

      It would be interesting if someone tried to actually make a wealth-redistribution coin, perhaps by heavily taxing large transfers and redistributing it - I’m not sure how you could possibly prevent it from being gamed though. And of course you would have to convince the richest to use it. So I guess more interesting as a thought experiment.
