Here's something wild: the IRS just announced they're cracking down on Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle transactions over $600. Gotta report every penny, right?

But get this—the Pentagon just bombed their 7th consecutive audit. They literally can't account for over half of their $3.8 trillion in assets. We're talking about a $979 billion annual budget here.

So let me get this straight: they'll hunt you down for $600 in peer-to-peer payments, but somehow misplacing trillions in military assets? Totally fine. The irony is almost too perfect.

Maybe this is exactly why decentralized systems keep gaining traction. When traditional oversight looks this broken, alternatives start making a whole lot more sense.

Laughing to death, while checking your 600 yuan transfer, losing tens of trillions at the same time, how bad must this system be.

Laughing to death, 600 yuan checked in detail, 38 trillion just disappeared, this logic is unmatched.

Laughing to death, checking 600 yuan so meticulously, can tens of trillions just disappear out of thin air? This trap system is really rotten to the core.

It's hilarious, a transfer of 600 bucks needs to be reported, but trillions in military expenses can't be clarified? This system is rotten to the core. --- Double standards are crystal clear... common folks can't escape even a single cent, while big institutions have billions? No problem. --- No wonder everyone is rushing to crypto, centralized trust has collapsed long ago. --- This is why we need defi, the central authority can't handle it anymore. --- This logic is just absurd... I'm also dizzy. --- Wait, has the audit failed 7 times? Where's the money, is it real or fake? --- So my few hundred bucks need to be reported, while their trillions can "disappear"? Perfect. --- This is the best onchain case, who still trusts cex? --- It's so ironic that I want to laugh, one system is strict with you, while it’s lenient with itself.

This double standard is outrageous, 600 bucks is a big deal, and 38 trillion just disappears into thin air? --- So ordinary people's money needs to be accounted for down to the last cent, while the military's books can be played with casually? Laughable. --- No wonder more and more people are turning to on-chain, this centralized system is really unreliable. --- The IRS is fixated on us for 600 bucks, while the Pentagon loses astronomical amounts... this logic is insane. --- With this auditing capability, they still want to oversee ordinary people's transactions? They should figure out their own accounts first. --- They can't clarify a 100 billion defense budget, yet they're coming after my venmo... it's so ironic.

The double standard is so obvious, and they really dare to write it out directly... This is why I am becoming more and more optimistic about on-chain transfers.

Laughing to death, a typical double standard... when we transfer 600 yuan, we are being monitored, but when they throw away tens of billions, it’s as if nothing happened?
