The reason why all the #goldbugs and #silvernuggets have always sham #crypto people, is because Crypto has an Achilles' heel. If the #Internet doesn't work, you can be the wealthiest person in the world but stuck in a place where 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 or the government where you are staying decides to 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀 and turn the country "dark", then you are really stuck with no solution, and you can be as poor as any beggar / bankrupt person on the street. --- I just went through almost 1 hour of troubleshooting on the local internet provider while my mobile (thank goodness!) is still working. But because the wired network relies on the local internet provider and I have no other way to re-route everything to my mobile phone, 𝗜 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗣. Thinking that it was probably my routers problem, I tackled everything I knew: resetting and diagnose. Then little did I know the culprit is actually one of the relay server of the local internet provider "went dark" (malfunction), causing all the connection that goes through that "node" stopped and not functioning. Yes.... the institution can still get you, even though the chain is decentralised, the connection to it is still centralised. (Power can be decentralised with self installed solar and wind , but internet is still not)
