Billionaires Are Not With Us In Crypto

The more I watch this market, the more I realize something. Every time things start moving, the headlines get filled with billionaires and CEOs being treated like the face of crypto. But from where I stand, they are not with us. They are not the ones refreshing charts at 2 a.m., not the ones debating tokens in Telegram, not the ones checking if there is even enough left to DCA this week.

When I see names like Elon or CZ moving markets, it is clear they do not live with the risks we take. They do not care if my hundred dollars turns into ten or into a thousand. For them, it is always about power, ego, and building their own companies.

I have laughed before at Elon shilling DOGE, but deep down I know he is laughing harder. He knows he can shift markets with one post, while the rest of us get caught chasing the swings. The suits buying up Bitcoin right now are not here for freedom or decentralization. They are stacking it neatly on their balance sheets, treating it like any other asset.

For me, that makes it obvious. These big names are not here to help us. They are here to use the same attention and hype that keeps this space alive, and twist it for their own goals. Just because one of them pumps a coin I hold does not mean he is my neighbor. Just because they mention crypto on some podcast does not mean they know what it feels like to hold through a long red market.

From where I sit, crypto was built from the ground up by people actually living it. Not by billionaires who can afford to play games with it. And I have to remind myself never to mistake their visibility for being part of us.
