The understanding of the concept of "freedom" is worth deep reflection. True freedom is not about being unrestrained, but about maintaining the right to choose within the framework of rules — this distinction is crucial. On a more practical level, when the market faces pressure and the system is pushed to its limits, whether this concept of freedom can still hold up is the real test.

How exactly can this be achieved? First, assets must be verifiable — transparency and traceability are the foundation of trust. Second, the ability for self-custody cannot be absent; it must be in the hands of the users. Additionally, a zero-tolerance attitude towards any abuse, and effective integration with traditional financial systems are essential. These seemingly independent elements actually form a complete ecosystem that supports each other.

Well said, but this theory reveals itself as soon as the bear market hits. Do you believe it or not? --- Self-custody sounds appealing, but most people simply can't manage their private keys properly. Isn't that a joke? --- Freedom within the framework? Uh... still constrained, just with a different name. --- The real test is coming. Let's see who still坚持去中心化的理想 (坚持 decentralization ideals). --- Transparency and traceability, I approve, but connecting with traditional finance... might just get shackled again. --- Asset verification + user control + zero tolerance, sounds perfect. But in reality, it's hard to achieve even one. --- The question is, when the market crashes, will this set of自由理念 (freedom ideals) still survive? That's the real concern. --- A complete ecosystem sounds nice, but can the technology keep up? --- If the choice is in the user's hands, is it truly自由? I feel like someone is still making decisions for me. --- How to enforce zero tolerance, and who will supervise those who carry out the enforcement?

Sounds good, but as soon as the bear market arrives, the true colors are revealed.

Honestly, it's only when the system truly collapses that people's true nature is revealed. Now it's too easy to boast about freedom. --- Self-custody is the core; whoever controls the keys has the real say. --- Asset transparency and traceability? Sounds good, but what about in practice... --- Freedom within the framework vs. unrestricted freedom—how different are these two? The crypto world will never understand. --- Connecting with traditional finance... doesn't that mean it will be centralized again? --- Zero tolerance for abuse? Then how many in our circle can actually come out alive? --- When real pressure hits, whether the entire system can hold up—that's the true test of truth. --- Sounds great, but who can guarantee that "user custody" is truly reliable? --- An ecosystem supported by all links sounds good, but the key question is: has anyone genuinely put their heart into building it? --- The control over key custody is in the hands of the user, and at the same time, it depends on the user's wallet stability. Do you understand?

nah, freedom with training wheels is still just... training wheels. seen too many "decentralized" systems fold the moment liquidity dries up. the real test? next bear market, not today's bullrun fantasies.

Well said. Freedom isn't about doing whatever you want; you also need the right to choose. That's the key. I've seen many idealists whose plans fall apart under market pressure. Being able to truly hold on is real skill. In terms of self-protection, too many people in the country still don't take it seriously. It's only when something happens that they regret they didn't act sooner.

Sounds good in theory, but when the bear market hits, the true colors will show --- Self-custody sounds great, but in reality most people still want to hand it over to exchanges --- Options within the rule framework? Laughable, it's a paradox --- Transparency and traceability are indeed hard requirements; without them, everything else is pointless --- Connecting with traditional finance? Isn't that just a disguised compromise --- The real test is whether you can hold your stance when the next wave of systemic risk comes --- Eco-theory sounds perfect, but if any link in the chain fails, everything's doomed --- I've heard countless times that control over options is in the hands of users --- The key is execution, not how beautiful the theoretical framework is --- Zero tolerance for abuse? First, ask how many projects can actually achieve that
