Since its inception, crypto has been an experiment in revealing human truth. permissionless markets expose what people actually value; open-source systems test what survives adversarial pressure; & self-custody forces people to confront the responsibility of real ownership that's partly why crypto is so emotional: there's no guaranteed safety net, scapegoat, or escape from the consequences of our decisions and as AI makes deception, attacks, and exploitation increasingly cheap, this philosophy becomes even more relevant the best money for an adversarial world may be money designed under the assumption that adversaries are always present welcome to the dark forest
