Perhaps it is consistent with the system, but it seems inconsistent with the rhetoric used to justify crypto's actual existence.

      >crypto makes you free Free from what? Free from having to transact with third parties and the financial system? I'm not seeing the contradiction for that. Free from worrying about money? Getting rich? I guess that's a contradiction in the sense that losing money is contradictory to getting rich, but I don't see how anyone can take "we're all going to be rich!" as some sort of principled justification for the existence of something.
