After the DAO hardfork Ethereum has 2 networks, Ethereum and Ethereum classic.
By seeing the fact, Gini index can be decreased by blockchain hardfork.
Re-distribution can be good even for people who have wealth in some blockchain protocol, because it increases engagement, and bring more network value to the blockchain.
This is not only company /project level, also can be used for governmental level to do democratic re-distribution of wealth not by centralized authority.
