The term "reliability" in crypto is always misused.

If we’re talking about price predictability, sure - it’s volatile by design. But that volatility is what gives crypto its edge. You don’t get paradigm shifts without chaos.

But if we’re talking about protocol-level reliability - censorship resistance, trustless execution, borderless value - then crypto is arguably more reliable than any traditional financial infrastructure.

Crypto was never built to promise financial freedom to everyone. That’s just a side effect that degens wrapped into the narrative. The original ethos was simple:
Transfer value without a middleman. Interact with the internet without showing your face.
That’s the superpower. That’s the threat to legacy rails.

You can trade it, flip it, hodl it - whatever. But at its core, crypto gives anyone a sovereign endpoint to interface with global liquidity. No KYC. No gatekeepers.

That alone makes it worth building.
