I do not believe Bitcoin will usher in an egalitarian utopia simply because that is not how people are - you would have to change human nature first.
But I do believe it is a significant step towards a true meritocracy, for as long as society is split between those who can control and create money and those who cannot, socioeconomic mobility will remain a pipe dream.
By removing that power from the hands of humans and passing it up to the neutral laws of mathematics, Bitcoin creates equality of opportunity.
There has never been and never will be a limitation on the ability to stack sats. Even if states enact laws: "we can code faster than you can regulate." (See: Robosats in response to KYC and Bitcoin bans, Silk Road and the continuing growth of new DNMs in response to the war on drugs, etc.)
A true free market without state intervention (or where such intervention can be bypassed) is a beautiful thing that by nature must cater to the needs of the people. The most democratic system in history.
We don't need a centralised group of elites dictating our needs to us.
