A former Cash App exec just dropped a bombshell take on Bitcoin.

Mike Brock penned a piece tearing into BTC as a system designed for distrust. His argument? It's not the freedom tool people claim. Instead, it rewards those who bail first and stacks the deck for those already holding wealth.

The "hard money" narrative? He calls it a mask. Behind the ideology, Brock sees a structure that deepens inequality rather than fixing it. Cruelty dressed up in irony, he says.

Sure, activists have found uses for it. But does that justify the broader implications? That's the question he's raising.

Not your typical crypto cheerleading. This is someone from inside the payments industry saying the quiet part loud.
