*index wallets can't be used to fund public goods* Show that it's not actually feasible for index wallets to be used for funding public goods. Assume that an economy has high adoption of index wallets and a public good some subgroup cares about, make an argument that that's insufficient for the good to be funded.

*index wallet don't have wealth equalizing dynamics* In an economy with high adoption of index wallets and a steady creation of new public goods currencies, make an argument that this doesn't actually lead to wealth equalizing dynamics. Wealth eq means the gap between rich and non-rich shrinks.

*there's a way to evade the voluntary taxation* The assumption of index wallets is that they tax you using incentives based on your private belief of your wealth. Show that doesn't work there's a scheme for a player to evade voluntary taxation by moving money around.

Even in an economy with high adoption of index wallets and a steady influx of public goods currencies, wealth equalization might not occur. Wealthy individuals or groups could disproportionately influence or invest in high-value impact certificates, thus accumulating more assets and returns compared to non-rich participants. Additionally, without mechanisms to ensure equal participation or redistribution, those with greater resources could continue to dominate valuable opportunities, reinforcing existing wealth gaps rather than bridging them. Thus, the dynamics favor wealth concentration over equalization.
