#贵金属黄金与白银刷新历史高位 Wall Street Drama: From Criticizing Bitcoin to Building Their Own Chain $BTC $SOL $AXS
Interesting thing: a top global financial institution is dissing decentralized finance as a "scam" in the media, while secretly launching its own "on-chain dollar." Is this truly disdain, or are they just terrified?
Looking at it from another angle—back in the day, carriage manufacturers criticized automobiles, not because of the cars themselves, but because cars threatened their livelihoods.
This institution controls the dollar settlement system, manages $3 trillion in assets, sets rules, and earns passive income. The Federal Reserve has to negotiate with it. But when Bitcoin appeared, the game changed: decentralization means bypassing banks and intermediaries, global payments no longer rely on the dollar clearing network, and code replaces credit—causing a real dimensionality reduction for the century-old banking system.
The most ironic part:
Once a major backer of the crypto market, they immediately "turn hostile" when regulation blows in;
The CEO calls Bitcoin "rat poison" while praising it as a "smart design";
The more vicious their public criticism, the more aggressively their internal blockchain recruitment.
This isn’t just disdain—it's fear. Fear of revolution, fear of being abandoned by the market.
So they are eager to develop their own on-chain dollar, with a clear logic: "Since decentralization is the future, it must be controlled by us!" The problem is, when everyone can issue tokens and keep accounts, how long can the traditional financial intermediaries maintain their advantage?
Core question: Can the on-chain dollar continue its dominance, or will it ultimately be rewritten by the wave of decentralization? What do you all think?
