decentralization costs money. deal with it
decentralization runs on money, not magic.
the cypherpunks knew this. you can’t build trustless systems on hopes and dreams. someone has to pay for the infrastructure.
guess what? that someone is you.
“why should i pay blockchain fees?”
says the person paying:
- $200/month for cable
- $15/month for netflix
- $10/month for spotify
- bank fees they don’t even know about
you’re already paying. just to the wrong people.
those blockchain fees you hate?
they’re keeping the network alive. paying validators. securing your transactions. ensuring no corporation owns your money.
you’re not paying for convenience. you’re buying sovereignty.
centralized systems: hidden fees, data harvesting, account freezes
decentralized systems: transparent fees, actual ownership, unstoppable
choose your master. or choose none.
freedom was never free. it just used to be hidden in the fine print.
now the cost is transparent. and that terrifies people who got comfortable being products.
