Cash is what I use to pay for parking, buy painkillers when the pharmacy’s closed, and hand to the kid who mows my garden because he’s under the table and doesn’t trust banks. Crypto means jack all to the woman at the bus stop who’s got six quid stretched over three meals. I’ve seen people bleed out on NHS wards with nothing in their pockets — you really think they give a fuck about blockchain? This whole circus feels like tech bros reinventing the wheel while the axle’s on fire and half the country’s walking. If crypto’s so revolutionary, why isn’t it keeping the lights on in accident and emergency? Save the decentralised future talk — we’re still begging for hot water in the staff room.

    "Crypto means jack all to the woman at the bus stop who’s got six quid stretched over three meals."

    You’re right — it means nothing to her today, because we’re still thinking of crypto like it’s just digital rand, trapped in the same old extractive logic. But where I’m from, stokvels moved money before banks ever showed up, and they still do — that’s already decentralised trust. The failure isn’t the tech, it’s us nerds building apps for hedge funds instead of coding a stokvel protocol that keeps her six quid safe from load-shedding blackouts and bank fees.
