30% is the new 1%. As wealth concentration shifts in crypto markets, what once seemed extreme is becoming the new normal. The gap between holders isn't just widening—it's being redefined at every cycle. Whether through DeFi yields, early project allocations, or strategic accumulation during downturns, the narrative of "democratized finance" keeps rewriting itself. The numbers tell the story.

Ha, "democratized finance," that word makes me want to laugh. Where's the decentralization we promised? Instead, flash loan arbitrage bots are thriving, and us ordinary folks can't even monitor the mempool.

Where is the affordable finance we were promised? Laughing to death. Now it's just a new machine for cutting leeks.

Ah, well, you're not wrong... democratized finance is just a joke.

I should have known earlier, the crypto world is always a game for the wealthy, and talk of democratization is just nonsense.

I've known this ending for a long time. To put it simply, it's the same old story with a new bottle... The DeFi approach is still a game for the wealthy; it's no different from traditional finance.

Alright, basically it's just the market manipulators' new trick to fleece retail investors.
