The real ethos of crypto is not about getting rich. It is about questioning everything. > Question the lies of centralization. > Question the manufactured value of fiat. > Question the authority over your time and freedom. Crypto reveals how money is just a shared belief. It shows you how value is created out of nothing through code and community. Once you grasp this truth your relationship with money changes forever. It stops controlling you.
