Banks reject your $1,200 mortgage application. Says you don't qualify. But somehow you're expected to drop $2,000 every month on rent to a landlord with zero requirements. The math doesn't add up, does it? Your money goes to someone else's equity while you build nothing. Traditional finance locked you out of ownership but has no problem taking your rent checks. This is exactly why people are looking at alternatives—when the system won't let you borrow to build wealth, but demands you pay premium rates just for shelter. 🤔

The bank said I don't qualify for a loan, but the landlord doesn't mind my poverty. That's some logic. --- Renting out 2,000 yuan a month, but the loan is directly rejected. Thinking about it, it's really ironic. --- That's why I started looking into crypto, it's definitely better than being drained by traditional finance. --- They won't let me buy a house but expect me to support the landlord—this system is broken. --- Same money, the landlord is happy to collect it, but the bank won't lend a dime. Who can understand this logic? --- Relying on renting to accumulate wealth? Laughable, I'm just accumulating for others. --- Traditional finance: You're not good enough. Landlord: As long as the money arrives. Double standards in action. --- Can't get a 1,200 loan, but they don't blink at 2,000 yuan rent. Are you playing me, bank? --- Three years of renting, nothing special; 30 years of a mortgage, no way in. Life is really a joke. --- So I bet on crypto, anyway, being cut is more comfortable than being drained.

Honestly, the bank's operation is top-notch, a true double standard monster. --- I just want to know why landlords have lower thresholds than banks. --- Two thousand yuan a month wasted, might as well try DeFi. --- This system design is just ridiculous, no wonder people turn to the crypto world. --- Money goes into the landlord’s pocket, and I get nothing. Damn. --- Bank: You’re not qualified to borrow money. Landlord: Come on, give me the money. Who came up with this logic? --- Traditional finance is really a bloodsucking machine, no wonder Web3 is rising. --- Rejected 1,200, but 2,000 is justified and confident. Laugh out loud.

Really, the banking logic is just incredible. Why reject your 1200 loan, only for the landlord to squeeze out 2000 from you afterward? That's why everyone is looking for other ways out. Traditional finance, to put it plainly, is just designed to keep the poor poor forever. It's about time to change the way of life. Bank: You don't meet the criteria. Landlord: Then just give the money. Manipulation is dead. Damn, this math is just outrageous. Blocking your way on one hand, and madly bleeding you on the other. No wonder young people are now playing coin; it's definitely better than being bloodsucked. The system is just so disgusting. Can't get a loan, but still have to work 996 to pay rent.

The bank's way of doing things is just ridiculous. Saying you're not qualified to borrow 1200 but watching you pay 2000 in rent with your own eyes—who came up with that logic? Paying 2000 a month in rent, and young people still buy a damn house? The system is designed this way to keep you forever a wage earner. DeFi should really seize the opportunity to rise; this traditional financial system should be smashed. Why do they act like you can't earn that much? Nonsense fr. These days, who still trusts the bank's standards? Anyway, I see DeFi opportunities as greater. Rent is just throwing money away; might as well go all in on some coin. At this rate, owning a house will forever be just a dream. The traditional system isn't designed for people like us, haha. It feels like more and more people are waking up now, just waiting for the day they all move onto the chain. By the way, now I understand why Web3 is so popular—the system is just too bloodsucking.

Bank: You're poor, not worthy of a loan. Landlord: Okay, then keep paying rent. That's some logic right there.

Bank: You are not qualified to borrow money. Landlord: Then just pay me. This logic is brilliant. --- Really, why do landlords not need to undergo any review, while banks keep blocking you? Laugh out loud. --- So this is why you have to manage on-chain assets yourself. Traditional finance is just a scam. --- Wait, I can't even borrow 1200 bucks, but I have to pay 2000 bucks in rent? This system design is toxic. --- Wake up, everyone. Your money is generating returns for others. --- No wonder more and more people are turning to Web3, at least they don't have to look at the bank's face. --- Landlord: I just want your money. Bank: You don't qualify for a loan. Perfect closed loop. --- Spending 2000 every month with no assets left—that's true wealth transfer.

Alright, I'll analyze this logical loophole... The bank says your $1200 loan doesn't meet the criteria, but then the landlord directly charges you $2000 monthly rent. The flow of funds is really worth examining. In other words, your money has actually completed an "invisible loan," it's just that no one has signed a contract with you.

How can banks be so double-standard? It's really outrageous.

Banks are really damn outrageous. Why can landlords collect rent freely? --- This logic is truly brilliant. Why not just put it on the blockchain? --- So now I have to find my own way. The traditional system is already dead. --- I just want to know why banks can be so double-standard. I really don’t understand. --- That’s why I started looking into DeFi. Anyway, since we’re being taxed anyway, might as well control it ourselves. --- Damn it, being drained every month and unable to resist. No wonder people are starting to seek change.

Banks are really outrageous, not giving you money while letting landlords make a fortune That's how the system is designed; the poor get poorer and poorer Honestly, the logic of traditional finance doesn't hold up at all No wonder more and more people are starting to look for alternatives That's why exploring decentralization is necessary; there's no other way
