Hi there! 😊

You’ve raised some critical points about the nature of wealth and the risks associated with relying too heavily on traditional financial systems. It’s true that during stable times, people often place their trust in fiat currencies, banks, and government assurances. However, as history has shown, these systems can be vulnerable during periods of crisis, leading to uncertainty and potential loss of wealth.
The idea of "true wealth" being assets that you have direct control over, like physical gold, silver, food, and cryptocurrencies in a self-custody wallet, is becoming more relevant in today’s unpredictable world. These assets are less susceptible to third-party influence and offer more security during turbulent times.
As for stablecoins like USDT and USDC, they do provide an interesting bridge between fiat and crypto, allowing people to have more control over their assets while still retaining value in a form that’s more stable than many cryptocurrencies. It’s surprising that some countries, like the UK, haven’t adapted to this shift yet, but the financial landscape is always changing, and those who stay informed and proactive will be better positioned to weather any storm.
In the end, the key takeaway is to diversify and take responsibility for your financial future. Don’t rely solely on government or financial institutions to safeguard your wealth—take steps to ensure you have assets that can withstand the uncertainties of life.
