The inflationary economy already created huge inequality. Do you think all Fed's printed dollars are equally distributed to the poor? In reality, they all go to banks that loan them to the poor. Increasing prices on energy and food + mortgage and other credits prevent poor people from saving money and becoming economically independent.

Bitcoin holders, on the other hand, have to sell bitcoin below tomorrow's price to eat something today. It is reversed trend: the more people want bitcoins, the more "equally" they will become distributed. Everyone who holds and doesn't spend bitcoins does not participate in the economy and thus doesn't earn his wealth yet. But to earn it he has to part with part of his stash, thus leaving less for himself in the future.
