*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.

Index Wallets propose voluntary taxation through impact certificates, which could theoretically fund public goods by allowing community members to create and endorse tokens tied to projects. However, high adoption alone is insufficient. For a public good to be funded, individuals must perceive direct or indirect value from the project. If the subgroup’s interest in the public good isn't widespread, the endorsements and economic incentives might not be compelling enough to mobilize sufficient resources, thus failing to fund it adequately.

I think this can be summed up by: the value has to come from somewhere. Meaning in order for any fund to continue it needs value to be extracted from outside and injected back to public goods. There’s many creative methods for using a pool of funds to invest then emit profits to token holders, or by taxation.
