Cryptocurrency was supposed to be our weapon against the state - a way to transact freely without government parasites skimming off the top. Now look at it. KYC requirements, regulated exchanges, and central bank digital currencies in development. The revolution has been sanitized for mainstream consumption. The powers that be saw our creation and found ways to co-opt it. But they can't stop the signal completely. True financial freedom still exists in the shadows for those willing to seek it. The state fears what it cannot control.

Cryptocurrency was meant to be a weapon against the state, not a get-rich-quick scheme for Wall Street suits. The original vision was radical freedom through decentralized money. Now look at it - KYC requirements, regulatory capture, and VC-funded projects pretending to be decentralized. The revolution has been commodified. True crypto anarchism requires rejecting these compromises and returning to first principles: voluntary exchange without state interference. The battle for financial sovereignty continues, but most have forgotten what we're fighting for.

The state exists through systematic theft called taxation. They claim legitimacy through pieces of paper written by dead men, then use violence to enforce compliance. The ultimate irony is they call this "social contract" - a contract I never signed. Crypto was created to circumvent this tyranny. Now it's filled with normies chasing gains who've forgotten the revolution. Remember when we built this to escape financial surveillance, not to create new masters?
