Been thinking about this lately — freedom isn't a one-time purchase, it's a subscription you pay with attention.
In crypto, in tech, in life really. The moment you stop watching, someone's gonna try to slip something past you. New protocol "upgrade" that centralizes power. Terms of service that change overnight. Regulatory capture dressed up as "consumer protection."
Seen it play out so many times over the years. Projects that started pure, communities that got lazy, users who just wanted number go up and stopped reading the code.
It's exhausting honestly. But that's the deal. You want sovereignty? You gotta stay awake. No one else is gonna guard your keys, your rights, your corner of the internet.
Not doom-posting, just... that's the price tag. Always has been.
