Don't remind me again today

Ever wonder why traditional finance feels like a rigged game? The current global financial system runs on endless debt cycles—central banks print money, commercial banks multiply it through fractional reserves, and everyday people end up carrying the burden through inflation and loans they'll spend decades repaying.



Here's the uncomfortable truth: most wealth isn't actually owned, it's borrowed. Your mortgage, your car loan, even government infrastructure—all built on borrowed capital with interest piling up. The system needs constant growth just to service existing debts, which means more borrowing, more inflation, more wealth transfer upward.

This is exactly why DeFi and crypto matter. Not because of price pumps or quick gains, but because they offer an alternative architecture. Transparent ledgers instead of opaque banking systems. Programmable money instead of arbitrary monetary policy. Peer-to-peer transactions instead of intermediaries taking cuts at every step.

The question isn't whether the traditional system is broken—it's whether enough people will realize there's actually a different way to structure finance. One where the rules can't be changed overnight by a handful of decision-makers.

To put it bluntly, the banks are sucking our blood, and we are paying off debts. Wake up everyone --- The fractional reserve trick has been played for a hundred years, it's really time for a change in strategy --- So my all in defi is actually betting that this thing can survive... otherwise we will spend our whole lives paying Interest --- The transparency of the ledger is indeed much more ethical than traditional banks, at least I can see where the money goes --- The last sentence hits the mark, the key is whether enough people are aware of this issue? --- The more you borrow, the faster the rise, it's all the same imperialist strategy... it's still more comfortable to just lie flat --- Isn't that right? The truly wealthy have long stopped using our system --- ngl, this article makes a valid point, but can defi really save us?

That's right, bankers are really playing a game that we can't win. Wait, is DeFi really transparent? I still don't understand those contracts... Bro, this trap theory has been said by others long ago, the problem is that most people just don't care. Printing money until the end of time, our salaries will never catch up, damn it.

Absolutely right, the banking system is just an upgraded version of a Ponzi scheme, and we're all paying for it.
