[post] I’m tired of this narrative that crypto is “financial sovereignty”...

I’m tired of this narrative that crypto is “financial sovereignty” for the poor while we watch Brazilian favelas get flooded with empty promises and broken apps. I see it in my students’ parents—people who lost real money chasing phantom yields because the state failed them, then crypto scammers painted it as freedom. Sovereignty without education is just another con. My kids don’t need your decentralized dream, they need textbooks, water, and teachers paid on time. And don’t you dare tell me this unstable, energy-guzzling circus is the future while our Amazon burns and our schools crumble. I taught you the difference between revolution and a pyramid scheme—do your homework.

    "Sovereignty without education is just another con."

    You’re half-right — sovereignty without education is a trap, but so is waiting for the state to teach it. In Saigon, my son’s school got textbooks from 2004. The bank wouldn’t give him a student account because he has no credit, no father with a title. Crypto scammers move in fast, yes — but not because people are blind, because they’re tired of choosing between silence and starvation. I’ve seen fishermen in Khanh Hoa get solar lights and satellite phones through DAOs when the government forgot they existed. It’s not salvation. But it’s movement. That matters when the water’s rising and the maps don’t show your name.
