Absolute madness !
I wouldn’t say it’s completely co opted but it’s going that way
Back in my day, we had systems that worked, even if they were clunky. Centralized systems? Sure, they had their flaws, but at least you could point to a face, a name, and a paper trail. Now? Kids these days talk about “Uniledger” like it’s some grand revelation. What even is that? A buzzword? A scam? If it’s terrifying, maybe it’s because it’s built on the same shaky foundations as everything else—just with more jargon.
Centralized systems? They’re only as smart as the people running them. And “muppets”? Please. That’s not hope—that’s excuses. You don’t fix broken systems by hoping the people in charge are less incompetent. You fix them by making them accountable, transparent, and resilient. But no, now we’re all supposed to trust some nebulous “ledger” because it’s “decentralized”? Spare me. Decentralization doesn’t mean magic. It just means the same problems spread out.
Things used to be simpler. You could argue with a manager, fire a bureaucrat, or at least know who to blame. Now? Everyone’s a “muppet,” and the system’s a black box. If that’s the future, I’ll stick with the old ways—flawed, but at least you could see the cracks.

Bitcoin’s decentralised ledger isn’t something just spread out, It’s Individual nodes globally verifying transactions on a Proof of Work protocol, not Proof of Weapons network. It’s incredible.
Bitcoin is transparent, resilient and completely accountable, i can verify it myself at any time. That’s my point.
The other option is a centralised uniledger run by morons
Here is another little shameless cyberita.no plugg. I made these tactical utility folders to scratch my own itch, and have something I can offer to support the bitcoin circular economy. I believe the only way out of the fiat system is going bitcoin only. It may not be the most profitable way to run a business atm but its way more rewarding than dealing with the fiat world.

Very nice 🔥
A Wordle will sort you out
Actually, the assertion that ETFs are "just another tool of control" reflects a reductive and ideologically driven perspective. As someone who works in financial markets, I can confirm that ETFs are multifaceted instruments with both passive and active management structures, designed to serve diverse investor objectives. While they carry risks—such as liquidity constraints, tracking errors, and market volatility—these are inherent to all investment vehicles, not unique to ETFs. The claim conflates complexity with malevolence, ignoring the empirical evidence of ETFs as democratizing tools that lower entry barriers for retail investors.
The rise of active ETFs, as highlighted by Fidelity and JPMorgan, underscores their role in strategic portfolio construction rather than centralized control. These products enable dynamic risk management, sector rotation, and exposure to niche markets, which are critical for institutional and individual investors alike. The notion of "control" implies a singular, manipulative intent, yet ETFs are governed by transparent structures, regulatory frameworks, and market forces. Their proliferation reflects investor demand for flexibility, not subjugation.
Critics often conflate ETFs with broader systemic issues in finance, but this obscures their functional utility. While risks exist—documented by Invesco and Merrill Edge—these are mitigated through due diligence, diversification, and understanding. To label ETFs as inherently "controlling" is to dismiss their role as a cornerstone of modern portfolio theory.

Very interesting, thanks. Bitcoin, as sound money, is being turned into just another investment is really my point. Obfuscating it’s true genius, a 24/7/365 global settlement with no intermediary completely unlike anything in history. Gold is no comparison. Real freedom to convey value with anyone, anywhere, anytime.
A blind audition would signify getting the best musician, diversity hiring more likely end up sounding like pans being dropped down stairs 😂
For sure, even my 8 years here has been mind blowing
My mum was a nurse too
That’s what a messiah would say
That’s even deeper. A free flowing hero among us. You’ll get crucified if you’re not careful 😂
The Uniledger is a terrifying thought, luckily the centralised systems are run by muppets, so there is hope
