ROAD OWNERS

How on earth did we think we could beat them using their roads? Cryptos swell only through exchanges, and exchanges are heavily based on bank accounts and credit cards. The big boys can always shut your account, or shun your credit card payments. How did we not see it? Well, there’s always the turtle on the tree interpretation. If you see a turtle on a tree, you can be sure it has an owner. Crypto exchanges systematically suck the public’s coins, every once in a while. It happens. They wait some time until there is enough suckers, and they suck the coins again. Because suckers never learn. And because there is a huge amount of suckers wanting to evade the system and not having a choice but to try to dodge the system through these exchanges. Which, as a matter of fact, go through the system, depend on the system, can be blocked or sunk or suck by the system anytime.

Who knows. Maybe the wise conclusion is that the system owns them, not only as a matter of fact, but as a matter of stuff, as in if you take a couple of hops of ownership you meet a bank.

Why did we not see you cannot beat them if you rely on them? Did we really believe we could establish a siege on them, while it was them and only them who got us our supplies? “Game over, kids!”, shouts the knight on the wall, with his hands over his mouth, like a horn. “We have cut off your supplies. You can go home know. Or else, ‘course. You can always stay and starve, or be slaughtered when you fail to hold your swords and shields”.
