The digital ID trap isn't some dystopian future scenario anymore—it's unfolding right now.



Here's the thing: once your entire financial life, employment records, and daily participation hinge on a single digital identity, compliance stops being optional. You don't choose to comply—the system is designed so you have no choice.

That centralized control over identity becomes the chokepoint. Your access to money, your ability to work, your participation in markets—all suddenly dependent on a gateway you didn't build and can't control. It's not freedom. It's a financial cage wearing a tech costume.

Basically, you're stuck inside and can't run away at all.

ngl That's why I'm still stacking coins... A centralized identity system is really just a modern version of financial shackles.

That's why I insist on holding a non-custodial wallet and no longer want to be bottlenecked by a single system.

I've been saying it all along, centralized identity is just a scam. It's just now that you realize it's too late. Really, once you're tied down to a single system, you completely lose your say. Isn't this just slavery with a different mask? Yet they still call it technological progress.

Wow, that's why I absolutely don't want to go on the chain. Once it's locked, it's over.
