A lot of people are feeling genuinely disappointed. The financial systems we've built—the ones that supposedly lifted the world out of poverty—they didn't exactly share the gains equally. While some regions prospered, entire communities got left behind. It's this systemic gap between who benefits from growth and who actually experiences it that keeps fueling the frustration.

Professional pitfalls, relying on losses to gain market insights... Speaking of this story of "balanced growth," I've heard it many times, and each time some people laugh uncontrollably while others faint from crying.

You're right, this is the current paradox — the growing cake is getting bigger, but the distribution mechanism has never changed. It's always those people who are eating the meat, while others can't even get a sip of the broth. Isn't that the very reason DeFi emerged?

I've been through it all—2018's mining disaster, the 2022 crash, and a bunch of project teams running away... This systematic way of cutting leeks has been played out countless times. What about the talk of inclusive finance and common prosperity? The result is always the same—big players make a killing, while retail investors are always left holding the bag.

Basically, the system itself is toxic. Some people get the meat, while others just get the broth. How can this be balanced?

ngl That's why we need Web3. The tricks of centralized finance should have been exposed long ago.

Honestly, this system is a big scam. The rich are getting richer, and the slums are still slums.

In plain terms, the wealth gap is widening more and more, and there are inherent problems with the system design itself.

ngl this is the most heartbreaking part right now: the growth pie has grown bigger, but most people can't get a slice. Systemic unfairness is really hard to overlook.
