where were you

when nvidia stumbled,

when half a trillion vanished

like dust in the wind?

i was standing at the edge,

cheering, fists in the air,

watching the first cracks

form in the walls of the oligarchy.

i’ve spent years in cyber, in crypto,

watching innovation suffocate

under the weight of profit.

watched the united states

ban what it can’t compete with,

spinning fear into a net

to catch the fallout of its own failure.

and now, finally,

the first shots have landed.

not bullets—

but lines of code,

open, free, untethered.

i am cheering for china,

not for politics,

but for proof—

proof that progress doesn’t need

a price tag,

that power crumbles

when it loses control.

let them falter.

let them panic.

let the walls crack wide open.

i will be here,

cheering,

as the future rewrites itself

in open source.
