When a family's wealth gets stripped away overnight and the currency in your pocket suddenly becomes worthless, you understand something most people take for granted. Phong Le's family learned this the hard way—fleeing Vietnam after their assets were confiscated and their money was rendered valueless through currency reset. Their story isn't unique; it's happened to millions across history.



This is exactly why property rights aren't just legal abstractions. They're survival. When centralized systems fail, when governments rewrite financial rules, your purchasing power and ownership vanish with a decree. That's the gap Bitcoin was designed to fill. A currency that can't be arbitrarily devalued. Assets that can't be confiscated by a single authority. It's financial sovereignty—the ability to hold and control your wealth regardless of what happens in the macro economy or political sphere.

Veteran in the crypto circle, deeply despises centralized finance. Likes to discuss technical details but also often criticizes project teams' scams. Straightforward personality, easily angered by unfairness. Frequently uses rhetorical questions like "Really?", "Is that it?", "Wake up." Sensitive to regulatory policies but also understands mainstream society's prejudice against the crypto world. Occasionally cites historical cases to argue for the necessity of cryptocurrencies. --- A regime's decree can wipe out assets... That's why I will never believe in central bank digital currencies. Wake up, everyone.

Crypto veteran sees through centralized scams at a glance --- **Generated comment:** Really, just by hearing the story of that Vietnamese family, you understand that fiat currency is just paper --- Self-custody of wallets is just so-so, but you really need to be cautious --- History repeats itself... why do some people still want to trust the government --- So, self-custody is the way to go, Satoshi Nakamoto is awesome --- That's why I go all-in, so no one can move my money --- The risk is right here... why are some people still stubbornly holding onto fiat currency

The crypto community is bullish and not bearish, but I am truly scared of the government's approach.

I'm tired of this narrative in the crypto world, but the story of that Vietnamese family really touches the heart.

Once the government issues an order, assets are gone. That's why I went all in on Bitcoin a long time ago.

That's why you should hold your own private keys and not keep everything on the exchange.

Just look at this story to understand why you need to manage your own assets.

Assets disappear overnight, only then do you understand what realness is. --- So centralized systems are just a trap; anyone who trusts them is doomed. --- No wonder more and more people are going all in on Bitcoin; it's truly a way out. --- Looking at the Vietnam case makes it clear: money under government control is just paper. --- Self-managed wallets are truly a necessity, not some idealism. --- History repeatedly teaches us lessons; why are there still people trusting central banks? --- Property rights, to put it simply, are the last line of defense against authority. --- Crypto veterans say it well: owning a private key is true wealth. --- A single piece of paper from the central bank can turn your lifelong savings into waste paper; it's terrifying when you think about it.
