The K-shaped economy isn't going anywhere—and Goldman's latest consumer tracking makes it crystal clear. Their data is painting a picture of serious divergence: high earners pulling away from the rest while lower-income groups feel the squeeze. This split matters for everyone in crypto. When wealth concentrates at the top, it shapes everything from risk appetite to investment flows. The wealthy tend to explore alternative assets and new opportunities, while others tighten their belts. Understanding this divide helps you spot where capital might flow next in the market.

actually, this k-shaped thing is just game theory playing out in real time—wealth concentration inevitably tilts the risk curve upward for top earners. the real tell? capital flows follow asymmetric information patterns, not sentiment. goldman's data is basically confirming what we already knew from on-chain analytics tbh

Talking about the K-shaped economy again? Goldman’s data really isn’t anything new; it’s been obvious for a while.

The wealth gap is widening, and retail investors are still bottom-fishing.

Goldman's data is out again; indeed, the wealth gap is really accelerating.

The K-shaped economy is truly remarkable. The wealthy are getting better at playing, while the poor are finding it increasingly difficult... This is the current state of the crypto world.
