Decentralized tech isn't just a trend—it's becoming the backbone of how we'll interact with money, data, and digital assets going forward. As centralized systems continue to face scrutiny around privacy and control, blockchain-based solutions and freedom-oriented technologies offer an alternative path. Whether it's self-custodial wallets, permissionless protocols, or transparent governance models, the shift toward user empowerment through decentralization feels inevitable. The infrastructure is getting better, adoption is accelerating, and more people are waking up to the possibilities. This isn't about rejecting traditional finance entirely; it's about having real choice. That's the real revolution.

ngl This is true awakening, the power of choice is in our hands --- Self-custody wallets are truly irreversible; once you've experienced this freedom --- Traditional finance will eventually have to change, no need to argue --- The problem is most people haven't realized they're locked in... --- Infrastructure is still far from in place, but the general direction is right, and that's enough --- It's either about overthrowing traditional finance or just providing people with options. How satisfying is that? --- Every time I read articles like this, I think about how many people are still sleeping --- I like the word permissionless more and more; it means power is returned to the people --- The revolution has already begun, but most people just haven't realized it

The centralized system of ngl should have been phased out long ago, finally someone has spoken out --- Self-custody wallets are truly the ultimate, no more worries about cex跑路 --- The real revolution is about choice, very true --- Wait, is the infrastructure really ready? Feels like there are still many pitfalls --- Decentralization isn't about opposing traditional finance; it's about breaking monopolies. I am firmly committed to supporting this direction --- I believe in the acceleration approach, but when will mainstream users truly get it --- Permissionless is the core; free interaction is the future --- Sounds great, but security is still a big issue... --- Transparent governance > black box decision-making, there's nothing more to say

ngl, once you've experienced self-custody wallets, there's no going back. Once you've tasted the freedom of control, who would want to be controlled by centralized institutions?

NGL, this is the future. Once you start self-custody wallets, there's really no turning back.

ngl The centralized system will eventually crash, I really didn't expect it to last this long.
