Crypto was selling freedom like it was barbecue at the rodeo — easy, American, for everyone. I bought in 2017 thinking I was building equity like concrete footings, something solid for the kids. Instead I watched brokers play three-card monte with my account while suits in New York laughed. They talk about decentralization but all I see is another boss, same greed, just slower payroll. You want dignity? Try working a slab in July and see who respects your sweat more — the crane operator or some anon in Miami moving tokens. My nephew says it’s the future. I say the future better have better safety rails than this.
