Europe's moves to seize Russian assets continue, and their impact on the global financial system is not insignificant. Such unilateral asset freezing decisions in the traditional financial system once again reveal how fragile centralized structures are.
Imagine that a country's reserves can become inaccessible overnight. This situation serves as a serious warning not only for Russia but also for other countries that may face similar scenarios. So what about alternatives? This is where the importance of decentralized assets comes into play.
In the crypto ecosystem, asset security operates on a completely different logic. When you hold the keys to your own wallet, no central authority can unilaterally make decisions and freeze your funds. Of course, this freedom comes with responsibility, but at least the control remains with you.
Developments are increasingly revealing the weaknesses of the classical financial system. Perhaps such geopolitical crises could lead more institutional investors to turn to alternative asset classes.

This is why I've been all in on encryption for a long time; TradFi is just a joke.

The vulnerability of centralized financial systems has been thoroughly exposed this time... Web3 has long pointed out this issue, and now someone is finally listening.

Europe has really frozen Russia's assets this time, to put it bluntly, it's teaching the whole world how to play the risk game of centralization.
In just one night, the reserves disappeared, and anyone would panic in that situation. No wonder more and more institutions are starting to look down on TradFi; this whole decentralization thing is indeed satisfying.
Having your own Private Key truly gives you a sense of security, without having to pray for the mood of some major power.

To be honest, countries around the world are learning to freeze assets; who can guarantee that the next one won't be themselves?

That's why I'm holding on to the Private Key so tightly, really.

Indeed, countries now have to think about their backup plans; they can't rely entirely on TradFi anymore.

The freezing of assets in Europe, to put it bluntly, is a wake-up call for all countries. In the blink of an eye, reserves are gone—who can stand that?
In fact, this is the very reason why crypto should exist: your keys are in your hands, and that's it; no institution can touch them.

This is what I've been saying all along, centralization is a pit, and it will crash sooner or later.
