Look at the pattern throughout history: nations that embrace transformative technologies gain enormous competitive advantages. Those that hesitate? They watch from the sidelines. Rejecting crypto—essentially rejecting the internet's native financial layer—mirrors the same miscalculation. Centuries ago, countries that ignored railways fell behind industrializing powers. Decades back, those skeptical of the internet got left in the dust. Today's decision on crypto adoption will similarly define which economies lead tomorrow. The choice is stark: participate in financial innovation or accept economic disadvantage.
