France's critical infrastructure just got hit hard—postal and banking services went down in what authorities suspect was a coordinated DDoS attack. The disruption raises serious questions about the resilience of centralized financial systems. For the crypto community watching from the sidelines, it's another reminder of why decentralized alternatives matter when traditional infrastructure fails under pressure.

Finally someone gets it, CEX down = we told you so Traditional finance crashes once and everything goes wrong, we were right That's why we need on-chain finance... Here's another example showing how fragile centralized systems are The French bank explosion was predicted by the crypto community long ago A DDoS attack can paralyze the entire system, hilarious, this is the cost of centralized systems How much longer do they need to wake up? Traditional systems are like this, one attack and it's all over; Web3 won't be Now the French people finally experience our pain points, haha

Haha, this is what I've been saying all along, centralized systems are so fragile. As soon as a DDoS Attack comes, they're done for; luckily we have the blockchain. France really needs to reflect on this; Decentralization is not just empty talk. Another incident with banks, when can we get rid of these intermediaries? Every time something happens in TradFi, we have to say we already knew it. Seeing this kind of news too often makes me feel like CeFi really has no future. Here we go again, why do people still trust centralized systems? If they can't even withstand DDoS Attacks, what can we say about financial security? Soon someone will ask me why I invest in encryption, haha. It's not about being pessimistic about TradFi, it's just the facts are right here. Looks like I need to stock up on some coins to deal with this kind of chaos.

Centralized systems are fragile, a DDoS attack can paralyze them, fortunately we have on-chain solutions. This wave in France is a lesson for everyone, the banking system is at this level. When a DDoS hits, TradFi is out of the game, the distributed nature of encryption is truly appealing. This is yet another perfect teaching material for "why decentralization is necessary," do you understand now? This is why I've been all in on-chain for a long time, who still believes in centralized stuff? The postal bank collapses completely, while the Blockchain runs as usual, the contrast is too obvious.
