Solana Beach (SOLANA)

My grandfather kept his savings in gold and laughed at me for trusting money that lived inside a phone.
For years I teased him. I explained blockchains, self custody, rules no government could rewrite while you slept.
He would nod, pour his tea, and say nothing.
One night I pushed him.
Why gold. Why not trust the system.
He told me about 1985. The week Vietnam revalued the currency and the savings of everyone he knew turned to paper overnight, with no warning and no appeal.
He did not lose money to a bad trade.
He lost it to a rule that changed while the country slept.
I had spent months explaining self custody to the first man I ever met who actually lived it. His gold was a cold wallet.
He just never needed a screen to trust it.
I write this on @RallyOnChain, where the idea matters more than who holds the mic.
What did the people before you survive that you think you discovered?
