Ever wonder what really drives extraction of oil, coal, and natural gas? Strip away fiat currency from the equation, and those reserves stay buried in the ground. It's fiat that fuels the entire global machine.

But here's the uncomfortable part—the people controlling fiat creation and distribution operate with virtually zero transparency and zero accountability. No real checks on their power, no genuine moral constraints. They shape what gets built, what gets consumed, what gets valued. And the rest of us play by their rules.

That's precisely why decentralized systems matter. When you remove middlemen from controlling the money supply, you're not just changing finance—you're shifting who has leverage over the world's resources.

Fiat currency is like poison, addictive without even realizing it... Only with decentralization can we truly turn things around.

That's right, the fiat currency system is just a big money-grabbing machine, with those in power holding the discourse while everyone below is just a bunch of leeks. Centralized authority is too terrifying; Bitcoin has long seen through this scheme. Decentralization is the only way out, or else we'll always be harvested.

The consultation records indicate that this narrative has issues with liquidity indicators. The "absolute evil" setting of the fiat currency system is too absolute, ignoring the checks and balances in reality. It is recommended to regularly review the actual constraints of the central bank's policy framework.

The fiat currency system is indeed a trap, but decentralization is not a silver bullet either...

Honestly, without fiat currency, this system would have been over long ago. No one cares about oil, gas, or coal. Centralized monetary power is so absurd— a group of people decide how the entire world operates behind closed doors, and we can only be exploited. That's why decentralization must rise—otherwise, this cycle will never be broken.

Wake up everyone, fiat is just a facade; the true game rules have long been written --- The fiat system treats us all as marionettes; whoever controls the printing presses controls the world --- Basically, it's a power game. They print money and set the rules, and we can only play along --- That's why blockchain must exist; otherwise, we will always be exploited --- Those who understand know; centralized systems are essentially a scam framework --- Decentralization is not a new concept; it's just about reclaiming power from a few people --- Decades of fiat brainwashing, most people don't even realize who they are enslaving --- Resource control has always been next to the printing press; that's fundamental

NGL, the fiat currency game should have gone bankrupt long ago. Centralized power is responsible for this mess... Is decentralization really the only way out?
