When a single digital identity becomes the master key to everything—your funds, employment, daily transactions—you've lost the freedom to opt out. Compliance stops being optional and becomes a cage.

This isn't some distant dystopia. It's happening now. The infrastructure is being woven into our financial systems already. Every centralized identity checkpoint narrows your choices and tightens control over participation in the economy.

3am is thinking about this issue again... Once centralized identity is locked, liquidity gaps will be artificially created. This is an interesting arbitrage opportunity I recently discovered through DEX data analysis.

I've been saying it all along, centralized identity is just a facade, and now it's finally clear.

That's why you need to run your own node and hold your own keys.

I've already said it before, this wave of central bank digital currencies and identity verification systems is the biggest opportunity and also the biggest risk. Those who still don't pay attention now will be waiting to get caught in the trap.
