ETFs.
Derivatives.
Leverage.
Paper claims built on top of scarce money.
They looked at Bitcoin and asked:
How do we financialize this?
Meanwhile, places like Africa, El Salvador, and Costa Rica are asking a completely different question:
How do we actually use this as money?
They’re building circular economies.
Merchants accepting sats.
People saving in Bitcoin.
Communities transacting outside collapsing fiat systems.
One side is building casino products.
The other side is building parallel economies.
Bitcoin was created to separate money from debt.
But Wall Street’s instinct is always the same:
take scarce assets,
wrap them in leverage,
and sell infinite paper claims on top.
The irony is that the people closest to monetary pain understand Bitcoin the best.
Not as a trade.
As freedom.
