Optimizing a broken system is the wrong question to ask. Strategy chairman Michael Saylor recently shared a critical insight: the real mistake isn't tweaking inefficient processes—it's building better solutions when those processes shouldn't exist at all.

He points to AI as a breakthrough tool for dismantling outdated financial frameworks. Rather than patching legacy systems, AI enables organizations to step back and redesign from scratch. It's about architectural innovation, not incremental fixes.

This shift matters for crypto and blockchain spaces. As traditional finance grapples with antiquated infrastructure, decentralized networks offer alternatives built on different principles entirely. The conversation reflects a broader trend: the winners aren't those who optimize the old way, but those bold enough to imagine and build the new way.

This is the truth. The traditional financial system should have been overhauled long ago; patching it up won't save it.

The broken system of traditional finance should be blown up; fixing it is like patching it up. It's better to rebuild it from scratch.

Well said, the traditional financial system is fundamentally a garbage architecture. Fixing and patching it is pointless; the right way is to overthrow and rebuild. --- Saylor finally said it: Bitcoin has been doing this for a long time, they just haven't realized it yet. --- Really, the core value of blockchain lies here. It's not about optimization, but about completely changing the mindset. --- So, the true advantage of crypto is not to adapt to the old system at all, but to build something new directly. --- This logic is sound, but in reality, most people are still patching the old system, greed is the reason. --- Haha, traditional finance still uses infrastructure from the last century, no wonder its efficiency is so bad. --- The key is to dare to imagine new things, rather than being bound by the status quo. Web3 embodies this idea. --- 破系统就该扔，别费劲优化，同意Saylor的点子。

Re-optimizing the broken system is pointless; it's better to completely overhaul and rebuild it.

Well said, the broken system of traditional finance should have been discarded long ago. Still clinging to patching it up🤷 --- Blockchain is the true reconstruction; it can't be solved by mere patchwork and fixes. --- I love hearing what Saylor says. Just do it, no need for those fancy optimizations. --- Web3 is exactly about this—building a new world from scratch. It's much smarter than traditional finance. --- The problem is most people are still comfortably optimizing in their comfort zone. Few dare to rebuild. --- AI empowering infrastructure reconstruction—that's the path the future should take. --- According to this logic, DeFi would have already won, except it hasn't been widely adopted yet. --- Deconstruction is reconstruction. The crypto circle understands this much faster than traditional finance.

Nah Saylor is absolutely right. The traditional financial system needs to be completely overhauled; patching and fixing it is really pointless.

Saylor's words this time are spot on. The traditional finance system is truly beyond saving. Instead of patching it up, it's better to start over. Crypto has been doing this for a long time.
