I’ve heard these boys in coffee shops talking about crypto—how it’ll free the poor, how no bank can touch your money. But where is the freedom when you need a smartphone and data to get in? I drive past three ATMs every day that don’t work, but they expect us to trust some blockchain from an office in Singapore? My son tried trading for a month, came home with eyes like a sick dog and empty pockets. This isn’t currency, this is gambling with extra math. And the only people getting rich are the ones who started the schemes—the rest of us are just burning time and power.
