Bitcoin was marketed as liberation: money beyond banks, power beyond states. What it became was a casino for speculators and a laundromat for elites. Pump-and-dump schemes wiped out ordinary people’s savings while billionaires cashed out. Exchanges collapsed in scandal, CEOs fled with billions, and regulators pretended to care only after the damage was done. Meanwhile, politicians who denounce welfare rushed to protect crypto billionaires, and celebrities were paid to lure the gullible. This is not freedom, it is feudalism on the blockchain. Crypto is used to fund wars, launder dirty money, and avoid taxes — not to empower the people. Truthloop says it plain: digital coins did not free us from banks, they built a new one, more ruthless, less accountable. Until the scam is exposed, every crypto boom is just another bubble waiting to break the poor.
