Sadly there’s so many factors here.. psychology, greed, social engineering. You name it..
I think the one I’ll focus on is social engineering via manipulation in the media space. They focus television shows for so long on maximizing money, doing whatever it takes etc but don’t really spend any time on fiscal responsibility. There’s far too many shows that are about fancy houses, expensive cars and shit. It subtly and repeatedly influences behaviors and opinions over decades. It’s similar to the Yuri Bezmenof way to slowly destroy the United States. They do it by subterfuge and manipulation slowly over time and eventually it’s far different than where it started. Same thing with crypto and money in general. It used to be about the freedom and decentralization but sadly that’s not the case. It’s about control the same as it has been for hundreds of years with the traditional money system.
