$GT $LAB Community Conan (Sol chain, ending xBQt) shared today: You mock Web3 people for losing money, but you don’t know you’re losing money every day yourself. You think keeping money in the bank is safe?



Let me ask you one very simple question. Is the money in your bank account really yours?

Don’t rush to answer yet. Think it through carefully. Who gave you your bank card? The bank. Where is your money kept? In the bank’s system. If one day the bank says your account is at risk and freezes you, what do you do? Who do you go argue with? You say this is the money I worked so hard to save—why are you freezing me? They’ll have a hundred kinds of compliant reasons waiting for you.

This isn’t me trying to scare you. Don’t talk about things far away—look at those war-torn countries. When banks say they’re closing, they close. A lifetime of savings—wake up one morning and it turns into worthless paper. You say this won’t happen here, and that we’re safe here. Really? Think again. What could your money buy ten years ago? What can it buy now? And what can it buy ten years from now?

That thing is called inflation. It doesn’t steal your money as directly as a robbery, but it steals a little from you every day. You just can’t feel it, because it steals so quietly—quietly enough that you don’t take it seriously at all.

Did your salary go up? It did. But has your life improved? No. Because while your salary went up by 10%, prices went up by 20%. You think you’re moving forward, but in reality you’re moving backward. The money you keep in the bank is quietly evaporating at a rate of a few percent per year.

This is the fiat currency system. Your money is, in essence, an IOU. The state backs that paper with credit and tells you the note is worth $100. But how many notes are printed? That’s not your decision. When the notes are printed? Also not your decision. Your wealth is decided for by a group of people you don’t even know, in a way you can’t control at all.

Now think about Web3 again. What is its core? Not trading coins. Not getting rich overnight. It’s something you can’t find elsewhere—called self-sovereignty.

What is self-sovereignty? It means your money is in your hands, and no one can move it. It’s not the bank that decides, and not some institution that decides—it’s code that decides. What is code? Code is transparent, open, verifiable by anyone, but impossible for anyone to tamper with. That is real security.

You mock those who build Web3 for losing money. But have you thought about this: when they lose money, it’s their own decision. It’s they themselves paying the price for their own understanding. At least they have absolute control over their own assets. And you? You keep your money in the bank, thinking it’s safe. But in truth you’re losing money every day—quietly, soundlessly, and in a way that feels totally acceptable.

Soros once said that the history of the world economy is a continuous drama built on illusions and lies. To gain wealth, you must recognize the illusions, step into them, and then exit before the public recognizes the illusion.

Do you get it now? What you think is safety might just be an illusion you’ve gotten used to.

I can’t tell you that Web3 is absolutely safe. But I can tell you it gives you an option—an option that no longer depends on banks, and no longer depends on any centralized institution. You don’t have to choose it, but you can’t not know it exists. Because if you don’t know, you’re effectively choosing to give up a tool that could protect your wealth. #PreIPOs第二期OpenAI认购 #GateDEX全面接入RobinhoodChain #夏日创作营
