🌍💸 Imagine Trading in a World Without Crypto

#TradingTypes101 #WhatIf #FinanceFuture

🚫 No #Bitcoin.

🚫 No DeFi.

🚫 No 24/7 global markets on-chain.

So, what would trading look like? Here's the alternative reality:

🏦 Fiat reigns supreme — The dollar, euro, and yen continue to dominate.

📈 Stocks stay king — Wall Street and global exchanges lead the charge.

⚖️ Gold & oil matter even more — Commodities reclaim center stage.

💎 Precious metals surge — Gold becomes the rebel’s choice again.

🏘️ Real estate rules — Tangible assets = trusted wealth.

🖼️ Art becomes alpha — From Monets to Michael Jordans, collectibles shine.

💻 CBDCs rise — The only digital cash is issued by governments.

🌐 Cross-border trade = banks + bureaucracy — No instant stablecoin swaps here.

📉 But no censorship resistance.

📉 No global, permissionless finance.

📉 No freedom to self-custody.

🔥 In this world, innovation still breathes—but it’s centralized, regulated, and slower.

🤯 Crypto didn’t just disrupt money—it redefined access.

Could we ever go back? Would we want to?
