Consider the role of central banks and governments in controlling fiat currencies. Study more if you don't know what it's referred to.

Why people trust them at all not just with money? Fuck'em'all. Blind trust in government is the most dangerous superstition.

The question should have been more generic:

Honestly, I don't trust third parties. I think, most of their are conditions are not favorable to the underprivileged people.

... and are you happy living without any, or do you squint your eyes when dealing with them?

I'd rather live without any, than to be a victim of their discriminatory and corrupt nature. That's why the underserved communities in Africa are opting for decentralized systems such as Bitcoin and Nostr.

Yep correct, they are already out off the system so it's easier to adopt these new technologies.
But what about us, poor citizens, that we are victims without knowing it? What about tips to help people get out of this forced trust-chain?
Feels like you are already in a good position, which advise you'll give to people looking to exit the matrix?

I'm from one of the poorest countries in Africa, my advice is from the deepest part of my heart.
These kind of systems are good only to those in control. The rest of the citizens are victims. Censorship, surveillance, regulation, and everything, are only for manipulation, control and all kinds of evil intentions to victimize the poor citizens.
I think it's high time we embraced the decentralized technologies.
