Some say cryptocurrencies make it easier for people to misbehave. In fact, they keep *governments* from misbehaving. The only danger crypto poses to govt is that when people have other options, they no longer have to tolerate govt misconduct and inefficiency

Blockchain at its heart is not about subverting control or surveillance. It's about solving the issue of *dependence*, which is the root cause of those. It is because we are dependent on these centralized infrastructures that we have no choice but to be surveiled/censored etc.

How 📦 works:
🙂 UPS: Your package is in X City, USA on a truck driven by Ron and will be at your door by 10 AM.
😠 FedEx: Your package is coming, you will get it when we give it to you.
😡 USPS: You ordered something?
😱 Amazon: We are inside your apartment.

There's no point in having a currency that is decentralized, private, and secure if the same isn't true of the exchange you use to buy those currencies 🧐

For me crypto has been an incredible lesson in killing one's idols. The "best" (famous, previous success, good schools etc) teams have completely underperformed a bunch of anonymous hackers.
