an observation (that may come off as insensitive):

some of the people with the strongest emotional reaction to the recent market downturn are those whose near-term lives won't materially change.

no immediate plans to buy a home, retire, pay for school, etc. no liquidity needs, no LPs to whom they need to deliver.

This take from @ted is so real. But I’m coming at it from a different angle than most of the responses in this thread… (prepare for a mini TedTalk on systemic failure and how blockchain and AI tech can fix it)

For some of us, the market isn’t abstract—it’s lived. It directly affects our bottom line. 

People don’t always see how market downturns connect to real-world survival, and how the trickle-down effect of finance and policy hits the most vulnerable the hardest.

What’s even sadder is most don’t even realize why they’re being hit so hard by it all. But for some of us, the connection is painfully clear.

Part 3 of 3: Instead of backing down, I’m building.
I’m building while bleeding.

Because if I don’t build this, it will keep happening—not just to me, but to other victims who won’t survive the cycle because they don’t even realize they’re being violated.

Transparency is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. 

System correction is not optional. 

So what does this have to do with market downturns? Everything.

Because the people most impacted by these crashes are the ones living at the intersection of policy failure and economic instability and it’s not just a few unfortunate cases. 

It affects the middle class just as much—anyone living month-to-month or even quarter-to-quarter is one policy failure away from collapse.

When the systems don’t correct themselves, we have to build ones that will.

Part 2 of 3: I’m in the middle of an active criminal case as a victim of a crime that never should’ve gotten this far.

My partner and I are dealing with civil rights violations, tenant abuse, and police misconduct.

There are laws that should be protecting us—clear, enforceable laws.

We’re talking statutory + compensatory violations worth over $50K in damages, not even counting the civil damages we’ve endured.

Violations so blatant they qualify for summary judgment.

But enforcement? Nonexistent.
Gaslighting? Constant.

What started as standing up for our rights has become a 90-day protest against being coerced to surrender them. Under the law, these rights should’ve been protected from day one.
