Ever wonder why traditional finance was structured the way it is? Here's the thing—it wasn't designed with you in mind. Governments, banks, and intermediaries built it to serve their interests, not yours.
Surveillance? That's by design. Control mechanisms are embedded into the very foundation of the system. And here's the uncomfortable truth: you're not really the customer. You're simultaneously the product being monetized and the liability being managed.
This is precisely why Web3 matters. A financial system that actually puts power back in your hands—that's the alternative.

Nah, I've heard this rhetoric too many times. The real issue is that those big players in Web3 also cut the leeks just as ruthlessly.

To be honest, I've heard this set of words too many times, but I still get a bit angry every time... You are a product, I am a product, everyone is a product.

Well said. I've always known that traditional finance is just a game of harvesting profits, and only now do I realize that I am still a commodity...
