Jupiter Lianchuang: The world urgently needs a decentralized power base. Please stop flattering centralized financial power.

Odaily Odaily News Jupiter Lianchuang Meow posted on X about "Telegram founder Pavel Durov being arrested": "Finance is power. Today's blatant arrest of Pavel clearly shows who has that power. This is a warning to all other protocol developers that no matter where you are, no matter how popular you are, as long as the owner of financial power wants to, they can take you down. This is a primitive assertion of a more primitive power that chills me to the bone. This is an ancient formula for ensuring obedience. Decentralization is not only a way for us to create magical cryptocurrencies, but also a key tool for us to balance the world's power structure. We need to gain as much independence as possible from centralized systems, which happens on three levels: at the technical level, we promote the adoption of decentralized approaches; at the monetary level, we break the ability of centralized parties to destroy the livelihoods of the entire economy; at the power level, we work with Big corporations have as much say as governments, determining the global agenda and ethos. Without this decentralized power base, we are doomed to always be under the control of the few, like rats trapped in a maze. Finally, stories like this need to be our rallying cry to stop sucking up to the institutions that give us ETFs, fancy campaign slogans, and 'fake friendships'. As an industry, we are screwed because we are always sucking up to others instead of fighting for what the world needs. Build for the future we want to see, for the friends we want to be with, and for who we want to be. We may have a chance to build the decentralized power base that the world desperately needs.”
