Traditional finance vs blockchain—two entirely different worlds. 💪

One operates behind closed doors with intermediaries calling the shots. The other? It's rewriting the rulebook.

Imagine a financial system where you don't need to trust institutions—just math and code. Where every transaction is visible on the ledger. Where anyone, anywhere can participate without asking permission.

That's the difference. Trustless. Transparent. Permissionless.

Your financial future doesn't have to play by old money's rules anymore.

Sounds good, but is it really that simple in reality? Without intermediaries, how do banks make money? It sounds nice, but who will pay the gas fees? Code can have bugs, math can be wrong, what should we do? No need to trust, it sounds great, but who do you turn to if you're robbed? I've heard this kind of talk so many times last year, why is it still the same rhetoric? Truly transparent systems should let me see the entire loss process clearly, haha. I just want to ask, who will help me settle this account?

ngl the "math over trust" framing is theoretically elegant but empirically speaking, code has bugs at like... what, roughly 15-50 bugs per 1000 lines depending on who's auditing? so we're just swapping institutional intermediaries for smart contract vulnerabilities, statistically speaking

It sounds good, but will intermediaries really be so easily eliminated... --- Mathematics and code can also have bugs, is this the place where you can feel at ease? --- It sounds great, but I still have to ask—do you really not need to trust at all? --- No permission sounds appealing, but what if a transaction goes wrong? --- Rewriting the rules? Let me see how many people have actually made money first. --- Transparency is good, but for retail investors, this transparency might not necessarily be a good thing. --- Wait, which system are we talking about... BTC or some new coin? --- People hype it up, but has the scale really increased?

Sounds good, but when it comes to actually using it? Gas fees are expensive and slow, and you have to manage your own wallet... Is it really more convenient than a bank? I don't think so. We've been hearing that trust isn't necessary for years, but in the end, it's still a bunch of scam projects.
