Bitcoin opening for financial inclusion – Bitcoin Magazine

This is an opinion editorial by Ray Youssef, CEO of Paxful and co-founder of the Built With Bitcoin Foundation.

Global wealth inequality is growing around the world. With inflation, conflict and the pandemic forcing many into extreme poverty, the top 1% is accumulating more power than ever before – capturing nearly 20 times more global wealth than the bottom 50%. And the rise in inflation adds more fuel to the fire, with US figures rising to 9.1%. While we’re all feeling the effects, many say lower-income households are feeling it the most, with tight budgets being hit by increases in rent, gas and general living costs. While bitcoin is not a silver bullet, it is a strong solution to minimize the wealth gap and open the door to financial inclusion where fiat has failed.
