There's growing frustration around how wealth concentration in crypto has evolved. The new money often comes from people who took early positions in assets that seemed questionable at the time—projects most dismissed, tokens with uncertain futures. Somehow these early believers ended up controlling significant portions of the market. It's an interesting contradiction: those willing to bet on the 'worthless' are now dominating the upper tier. Whether you see it as forward-thinking or pure luck, the wealth gap feels steeper than ever.

Early believers are making a fortune, while latecomers can only watch from afar—this is the reality of crypto.

actually if you analyze the on-chain data, early believers didn't get rich from luck—they just optimized for asymmetric risk when everyone else was sub-optimal about it. mathematically speaking, concentration was always inevitable given the mempool dynamics of nascent markets. not sure why this surprises anyone anymore tbh

Early believers made a fortune, while later entrants suffered heavy losses. This is the cruel fate of the crypto world.

Early "junk" projects have now become digital relics, and this contrast is indeed ironic. But isn't this also the fate of all emerging assets — those who dare to collect "scraps" ultimately become true collectors.
