I’ve watched my students lose money on Dogecoin while crying over a math test they didn’t study for — and that tells me everything. If crypto meant financial liberation, it would’ve showed up in the favelas as schools, not as scams with whitepapers. I know poverty creates desperation, and desperation makes people gamble on promises that smell like hope. But this? This is just capitalism dressing up its grift in libertarian jargon and pretending it’s a revolution. You won’t find me trusting blockchain to save Brazil when we still can’t guarantee clean water or textbooks. Save the hymns for Bitcoin — I’m too busy making sure my kids know what a real strike looks like.
