Imagine traditional money, but stripped of geographic borders and intermediaries—living entirely on the blockchain. That's crypto: a digital-native form of value that moves peer-to-peer across the internet, without needing banks or payment processors to verify each transaction. It's money reimagined for the connected world.

Speaking of which, this description sounds quite idealistic, but in practice, it still relies on the exchange... Isn't this just replacing the middleman?

It sounds good, but in reality, people still have to rely on exchanges to cash out. How can you bypass the intermediary?

It sounds good, but when it comes to actually using it, isn't it still dependent on exchanges and wallets to survive?

Basically, it's a decentralized accounting system. Sounds great, but in reality? Exchange hacks, private key loss, sky-high gas fees—does this look like a utopia? Haha

Sounds nice, but in reality, it's just another tool for harvesting retail investors again.

No intermediaries, no boundaries, sounds great, but who will save me from liquidation? Haha

It sounds idealistic, but how does it work in practice? Fees, volatility, and having to keep your private keys yourself—are they really more convenient than a bank?
