It may not exactly be a meritocracy, but it's closer than most opportunities.
I am not sure how many people would actually want to participate in a true meritocracy these days.
If we have another 2017 style run, we could be looking at at $10T market cap, making crypto a huge asset class on the global stage.
I think it might get close to that, especially considering the inflation of all the cash laying about. Come the run, some of that is going to move into crypto, driving that bubble very high.
