Expectations vs Reality
We all dream of a world where $BTC is the currency that gives us freedom from governments.
Without censorship. Without banks. Without intermediaries. Without uncontrolled issuance.
But governments have other plans.
Every real advance in the adoption of decentralized cryptocurrencies is met with legal obstacles, suffocating regulations, or outright smear campaigns.
Why?
Think from the selfish side of governments...
Allowing people to trade freely among themselves, without depending on the government means losing control.
And no empire gives up its power without a fight.
What’s coming is not decentralization and freedom.
It’s the complete opposite!
The #GENIUSActPass in the U.S., and the unstoppable advance of CBDCs in Europe, China, and Latin America, are showing us the way:
👉 The system wants blockchain, but does not want decentralization.
And the most serious: this model has no space for cryptocurrencies that fight against control like Bitcoin, Monero, or even Ethereum.
Any attempt at governmental independence is demonized: criminals, tax evaders, and anarchy.
As of today, the trade of $BTC is pursued by law in several countries. Claiming the "well-being" of the population, governments repeat a narrative:
🧠 "They are used to evade taxes."
🌍 "They harm the environment."
🚔 "Criminals use them to avoid detection."
📉 "It’s too volatile and risky for the average citizen."
Little by little, they are pushing us toward a single “safe” and “legal” option: regulated cryptocurrencies.
I invest in the known "anti-cryptos" $XRP and $XLM
Not out of conviction.
Not because I love them.
I do it for survival.
Because if the system is going to push everything toward currencies like $XRP or $XLM, I prefer to be one step ahead.
I am not a martyr of my ideals.
I am a trader who understood that money has no morals, only direction.
And if that direction is toward a world of control and CBDCs...
I do not intend to stay out just to remain "pure".
