Investing in cryptocurrencies has been gaining traction as a strategic alternative, especially in light of the perceived fragility of the traditional pension system, such as the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) in Brazil.
The National Institute of Social Security (INSS) is at the center of one of the biggest corruption scandals of the decade, revealed by "Operation Without Discount," launched by the Federal Police (PF) and the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU) in April 2025. The investigation exposed a billion-dollar scheme of undue discounts on pensions and retirement benefits, affecting millions of beneficiaries across the country and once again demonstrates how Brazil is sinking deeper with the current government, known for the largest corruption scandals in world history.
This recent case of corruption in the INSS does not mean you should abandon or ignore your pension rights. But it strongly emphasizes the importance of not solely relying on the state to ensure your financial security.
*** The future belongs to those who build more than one income stream, and cryptocurrencies, while risky, can be an important part of this construction. You do not need to rely solely on buying an asset and waiting for its appreciation to gradually change your financial standing, with patience and consistency.
