Complete anarchy and absolute order—both are traps that kill real freedom.



Think about it: total chaos where anything goes? That's not liberation, it's just another form of tyranny, just without a face. Meanwhile, absolute control in the name of order? That suffocates everything worth having.

Real freedom lives in the middle. It's the balance between the right to act and the boundaries that make those actions meaningful. That balance has a name: the law.

Web3 is learning this the hard way. Decentralization without any guardrails becomes a playground for scammers. But overregulation kills innovation. The sweet spot? Rules that protect without imprisoning. Systems that enable rather than dictate.

Really, both lawlessness and iron-fisted control are scams; the real thing is in the middle.

That's right, the middle ground is the real way. But Web3 is still exploring, and I've seen too many project teams with no bottom line.

That's right, Web3 is currently exploring in this way.

The middle route sounds good, but who gets to decide?

That's right, disorder is another form of dictatorship. Web3 has suffered so much over the past two years to understand this truth.

That's right, chaos and absolute regulation are indeed traps. Speaking of Web3, these past two years have really swung between these two extremes. Sometimes they shout for complete freedom, and other times they get completely exploited, ending up being the ones who get taken advantage of in the end.

That's a pretty valid point, but the lessons learned in Web3 are indeed quite painful.
