The pandemic taught us something crucial, didn't it? Our civilization runs on thinner ice than most people realize. Picture this: power grids failing, natural disasters cascading beyond control, or some unexpected black swan event throwing everything off balance. We're talking about systems we take for granted every single day—electricity, supply chains, communication networks. One domino falls, and suddenly you're looking at a chain reaction nobody saw coming. Makes you wonder how prepared we really are when things go sideways. How many backup plans do we actually have? Worth thinking about.

ngl this is exactly why I've been stacking Bitcoin all along. Centralized systems are bound to collapse sooner or later, and Web3 is the real alternative.

NGL, this article is actually pretty accurate. We really do rely on these systems too much—if they collapse, no one would be able to handle it.

Wake up, our system is just paper-thin.

I saw this clearly during the pandemic, but some people are still dreaming.

Bitcoin exists for moments like this, trust me.
---
The supply chain is incredibly fragile—if one port shuts down, the whole line breaks.

Humanity’s biggest flaw is always thinking tomorrow will be just like today.
---
That’s why decentralization is the real backup plan.

It’s time to stock up on food, everyone. Not joking.

Really, the only fear now is some kind of black swan event that could cause the entire system to collapse.
