You don't have to. Inventing BTC and being rewarded for it is very much based on merit. You are free to live in a society based on other values if you want to.
We live in the same society. Don't even pretend that it is possible to live outside it, especially as a technologist. The point I was trying to make is the unknown of it. At least today we have a pretty good idea of who is unfathomably rich. Merit has nothing to do it with those people too.
