The Unseen Side of Crypto... Let's face it, crypto's narrative often glosses over the harsh realities. Born from the 2009 financial crisis, Bitcoin was more than just a call for decentralization - it was a product of distrust, fear, and chaos.
1. Power dynamics: Despite claims of empowering the people, a small elite controls a vast majority of Bitcoin, contradicting the idea of decentralization.
2. Surveillance: Blockchains may not offer the privacy we think, with permanent and traceable transactions. Governments are also pushing for CBDCs that could monitor our every move.
3. Addiction: The crypto market's volatility can lead to mental health struggles, financial dependency, and a loss of control.
Before diving in, it's essential to ask: Are you in control, or are you being controlled?
