For me, getting into crypto made me realize how much of the traditional system is built on trust in middlemen I never even thought about.

Banks, governments, payment processors, we just assume they’ll always work fairly. Crypto showed me how fragile that assumption actually is.

What’s something crypto made you realize about regular money or the financial system that you didn’t see before?
