I just don't know anymore. This place used to be cypherpunk. Now it's pro-establishment?

Maybe I'll get a lot of negative comments, but that's ok.

I just feel a bit lost sometimes when I look through the posts and comments on here and other crypto subreddits.

Satoshi wanted to give a big middle finger to the existing financial system...not be absorbed by it.

Genesis block:

"

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

Satoshi Nakamoto

"

The bailouts ruined countless lives, both short and long term, ranging from hardworking everyday people's retirement funds to investors to everyone inbetween.

The banks robbed us blind.

But now we have people excited about ETFs. People crave the old ways instead of embarking wholeheartedly to the new.

Some people beg for regulations when they see shitcoins and other unfortunate circumstances.

Are you kidding me? Give this centralized power to the same thieves that use their power to steal from the masses? Hard pass.

Yes it sucks when people get burned, but hey sometimes that's how you learn.

You want full and total control over your money, you need to take full and total responsibility over your choices. Hard fact.

Everyone regurgitating talking points about how exciting it is institutional finance is getting involved with crypto and how they'll better manage it is just feeding into the corrupt system. Please wake up and smell the roses before it's too late.

Maybe I'm alone here, I don't know.

But if this sounds cool to you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk then join me down the rabbit hole.

Thank you and have a nice day.
