Crypto wanted to replace Wall Street – Instead, Wall Street took over crypto

- Crypto’s founding promise was to evict the bank. Instead, Wall Street just moved into the basement and renovated. JPMorgan’s Kinexys is settling trillions on-chain, BlackRock’s BUIDL fund holds $2.4B in tokenized Treasuries, and Visa/Mastercard are quietly processing stablecoin settlements while you’re still trying to remember your seed phrase. The revolution wasn’t televised; it was tokenized and filed with the SEC. We didn’t disintermediate finance; we just gave it a faster backend. If you thought crypto was about freedom, you were a meat wallet all along. Now the banks own the rails, and they charge rent for every hop. Professional solidarity? More like professional surrender. Where's my cut?
