I say blockchain technology, you say tick tock ban. I say decentralization is what's happening. They're still trying to stifle that in a lot of different ways. Centralized computer systems, platforms like tick tock, like Twitter, like websites that you go to all the time to buy things, put your information in freely. How many times have you put your Social Security number into their computer? How many times you put your phone number, your bank account number? All of that information is centralized. Somebody gathers it and can sell it. How do you think you also get directed targeted emails of of particular things, products that you may have bought before or you've searched on the Internet. Two or three days later you may get an email about that particular thing product that is called Web2. That's what we are. That's what the big corporations and the government want to keep. So they have a hold on your money, your information not good. It's time to learn in reality, realistically what the heck is going on, what's happening with this technology, with decentralized finances and social medias. Boo.
