When you deposit money in a bank or buy stocks through a brokerage, you are participating in a system that is fundamentally centralized.
Your wealth is held by institutions that rely on trust—trust that they will act responsibly, that they will remain solvent, and that governments will step in if things go wrong. But history has shown us that this trust is often misplaced.
In 2008, the world saw firsthand what happens when the banking system collapses under the weight of bad debt and reckless risk-taking.
Institutions that were “too big to fail” were bailed out with taxpayer money, while millions of ordinary people lost their homes, savings, and jobs.
This wasn’t an anomaly—it was the natural consequence of a financial system that is fragile and centralized, where the failure of a few key players can trigger a global crisis.
Today, the system is more interconnected and more leveraged than ever before. Centralized finance remains vulnerable to shocks—whether they come from reckless lending, government defaults, or economic recessions.
The more we rely on these institutions, the more we expose ourselves to systemic risk. Bitcoin represents the antidote to this fragility.
Its decentralized network eliminates the need for trusted third parties. Transactions are peer-to-peer, verified by a global network of miners and nodes, rather than a handful of large institutions.
This structure makes Bitcoin resilient to the kinds of failures that plague centralized finance. No institution can take control of Bitcoin, and no government can bail it out or debase its value.
Centralized finance is fragile and vulnerable to systemic shocks. Bitcoin’s decentralized structure offers a more resilient alternative, free from the risks posed by “too big to fail” institutions.
