There's a principle that echoes through the ages: defying tyranny is ultimately an act of righteous duty. This idea runs deep in the DNA of the decentralized movement. When systems concentrate power in the hands of a few, resistance becomes not rebellion but restoration. That's the philosophy driving Web3—the belief that financial freedom and self-sovereignty are fundamental rights, not privileges granted by gatekeepers. Whether it's choosing your own custody, participating in governance, or building on open networks, each act challenges the old model where authority decides what you can do with your own assets. The irony? What once seemed radical is becoming the baseline expectation for a new generation tired of institutional intermediaries.
