Do you remember? In the early days of digital currency, crypto assets were like a dawn that illuminated many people's imagination of the future. Their emergence was not accidental — it was a direct response to an unfair financial system.



The rules of traditional finance have long been written: large institutions monopolize pricing power, while ordinary people passively bear the burden. The appearance of cryptocurrencies changed this situation. They promise not only technological innovation but also a redistribution of power — giving everyone the opportunity to participate, make decisions, and profit, rather than being exploited.

This stands in stark contrast to the predicament of the previous generation. They were forced to accept the existing economic order, with little choice and no way to reverse it. The new generation sees possibilities in the crypto world: decentralized financial systems, transparent trading mechanisms, and truly ownable asset control.

Of course, ideals are grand, but reality is complex. But that initial light remains the reason many continue to persevere.

The early light was indeed dazzling, but now... many people's eyes have become blurred.

Ideals are good, but I care more about the current situation... The traditional financial system is still continuing to harvest, just under a different name called DeFi.

The ideal is great, but I took off my pants and found there's no bathroom...

---

That early wave of people definitely made money, but what can those entering now do?

---

It sounds nice, but isn't it just another round of being cut?

---

Decentralization? Ha, big players call the shots.

---

If you believe in this system, tell me how you're doing now.

---

Reallocation of power... and then being redistributed by new powers, right?

---

That's why I'm still bottom fishing.

---

It sounds fantastic, but the reality is losing money.

---

My mom is still asking me when I’ll break even.

---

The dawn? I think it's just a sickle for harvesting chives.

---

Does anyone still believe in this... I raise my hand to ask.
