A Christmas note for the professionals who sneered at crypto

As the year winds down and calendars fill with end-of-year lunches, bonuses, and well-earned breaks, it’s worth pausing—just briefly—to consider what the system you defended actually did this year.

Not what it said.

What it did.

While you rolled your eyes at “crypto bros” and congratulated yourselves for being “serious,” fiat quietly financed:

• Endless wars that no voter meaningfully approved

• Inflation that erased years of savings from people who never speculated

• Housing becoming permanently unreachable for entire generations

• Bailouts for balance sheets, not families

• Debt loads so large they require silence to function

All without a vote.

All without accountability.

All wrapped in respectable language and PowerPoint decks.

Fiat didn’t just move numbers.

It moved suffering off the books.

When money can be created at will, atrocities scale.

When losses can be deferred, responsibility disappears.

When consequences are abstract, morality becomes optional.

And yes—crypto is messy.

Yes—there are scams.

Yes—there was excess.

But at least crypto exposed the lie: That money is neutral.

That finance is boring.

That obedience equals professionalism.

Bitcoin didn’t fund wars.

Bitcoin didn’t dilute wages overnight.

Bitcoin didn’t require propaganda to survive.

It just refused to lie quietly.

This Christmas, maybe the question isn’t whether crypto was foolish.

Maybe the question is why so many intelligent, well-paid professionals chose comfort over curiosity…

Compliance over conscience…

And ridicule over reflection.

Repentance doesn’t require tweets or apologies.

It starts with honesty.

Because history is very clear about one thing: The worst atrocities are never committed by radicals.

They’re committed by people who “were just doing their jobs.”

Merry Christmas.
