🏰 American tariffs are no longer about trade. They are about power.
American tariffs are no longer about trade. They are about control.
What we are seeing is not a trade war. It is the fence being built around digital fiefs.
Amazon does not need a tariff to compete; it is already the market.
NVIDIA does not need protection; it dominates AI infrastructure.
Microsoft and Apple do not compete... they govern.
Tesla has a hegemony to defend.
Replacing competitive capitalism is technofeudalism, where Platforms become lords and Users and producers become serfs.
Governments become servile lackeys distributing subsidies, taxes, and protection in exchange for access.
And the tariffs?
They do not protect industry. They protect the fief.
They are the geopolitical firewall of digital income.
📌 Insight from the book #Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis, which should be required reading for anyone who still thinks we are discussing "free market."
💸 And where does crypto fit into this story?
$BTC is the rebel knight in this feudal world.
Stablecoins like $EUR are the peasants trying to escape the kingdom's inflated currency.
DeFi is the attempt to create decentralized villages away from the castle.
DAOs are the first organized rebellions of the villagers.
The question now is not "do you believe in crypto?"
It is: do you want to keep paying tribute to the digital fief... or escape via blockchain?
