- decentralization runs on money, not magic
- cypherpunks knew this - canât build trustless systems on hopes and dreams
- someone has to pay for the infrastructure
- guess what? that someone is you
- says the person paying $200/month for cable
- $15/month for netflix
- $10/month for spotify
- bank fees they donât even know about
- youâre already paying - just to the wrong people
- theyâre keeping the network alive
- paying validators
- securing your transactions
- ensuring no corporation owns your money
- this is the resistance infrastructure we need
- doesnât run on goodwill
- youâre buying sovereignty
- centralized systems: hidden fees, data harvesting, account freezes
- decentralized systems: transparent fees, actual ownership, unstoppable
- choose your master or choose none
- the deep state fears this choice more than anything
- it just used to be hidden in the fine print
- now the cost is transparent
- that terrifies people who got comfortable being products
- pay the fee or be the fee
