The Lie: Crypto is freedom. Decentralized. Fair. Inevitable.
The truth? Most of crypto is circular logic wrapped in hope. You’re not changing the system—you’re caught in a new one. And it’s built by the same kind of people.
Decentralization?
A handful of entities control most validator nodes, token supplies, stablecoin flows, and bridges. You moved from banks to founders, VCs, and DAO whales. Nothing changed—just the masks.
Real usage?
Strip away bots, airdrop farmers, and chain-hopping mercenaries—what’s left? Maybe 2% actual adoption. The rest? Smoke.
Bitcoin?
Without block rewards, the security model fails. Halvings shrink incentives. Who pays miners when fees dry up? If BTC needs forever-rising price to survive, is it money—or a pyramid?
DeFi?
Unregulated leverage. Synthetic assets backed by... other synthetics. High yields born from emissions, not revenue. No buyer of last resort. No insurance fund. No oversight. It’s shadow banking with prettier UIs.
Stablecoins?
They’re fiat derivatives. Centralized, opaque, black-boxes of risk. One subpoena or misstep and they vanish. And they’re the backbone of the entire space.
The “revolution” is built on centralized infrastructure, opaque data, and recursive speculation. That doesn’t mean it’s worthless. But don’t mistake a casino for a constitution.
The problem isn’t crypto.
The problem is pretending it’s not still run by people—with incentives, power games, and exit plans.
You want real freedom?
Learn. Build. Audit. Don’t worship logos or tickers.
Power doesn’t decentralize by default—it has to be forced.
