Saw a take that completely missed the essence of what crypto's really about.
Bitcoin wasn't designed to create some dystopian surveillance infrastructure loaded with centralized gatekeepers. That's literally the opposite of what Satoshi envisioned.
Sure, tokenized assets have their place—they're interesting, no doubt. But let's be real: they're just one slice of a much bigger pie. Acting like they're the whole story? That's either naive or deliberately misleading.
The entire movement was built on decentralization, permissionless systems, and financial sovereignty. When people start celebrating frameworks that introduce chokepoints and control mechanisms, they're fundamentally contradicting everything this space stands for.

Well said, too many people are turning the crypto world into a centralized trick, instead of staying true to their original intention.

You are absolutely right, now a bunch of projects are using the banner of web3 to do the centralized trap, it's really like telling stories while wearing a mask.

So true. Right now, a bunch of people are completely misunderstanding the crypto space. It's really absurd.

That's right. A lot of people nowadays don't even understand the original meaning of Bitcoin.
Some so-called "innovative frameworks" are actually just imposing KYC regulatory logic—what an irony.

The posture is quite high, but to put it bluntly, it's still just selling their own trap narrative.

Laughing to death, now a bunch of people have turned the crypto world into a centralized garbage dump, and they are still enjoying themselves.

You're so right, now a bunch of people don't understand the original meaning of Bitcoin at all.
Ironically, those who shout about Decentralization are building new gatekeeper projects, it's hilarious.
