Lately, I see a lot of new people interested in $SOL , and generally in cryptocurrencies. And honestly, I understand.

I come from Ecuador, a country where the banking system has betrayed its people more than once. From the banking holiday that destroyed thousands of families, to current cases where people save with effort… and from one day to the next, they can’t even log into their account.

A close friend experienced this recently: he had money in a cooperative and suddenly couldn’t access it. Who do you complain to? Who responds to you?

That’s when I realized: if you put your money in something you don’t control, it really isn’t yours. With cryptocurrencies, at least you decide. You don’t need permission from anyone. No one can freeze your account. No one can block your access. You are your own bank.

I’m not saying it’s the perfect solution, but at least it’s yours.

That’s why I think we need to talk about this more seriously, and not just post “buy this crypto now or I got rich with $30.” This is not just about making money; it’s about protecting it.
