【The crypto world that never announces its deaths finally gets its own funeral~】
Crypto is dead.
Whether you’re a small fry or an old OG, everyone can feel it in their heart,
but no one dares to say it,
and no one is willing to believe it.
It feels like everyone is quietly taking part in a funeral with no one admitting it—
because most people still aren’t reconciled, still holding out hope!
After several past bull-bear cycles, crypto has always managed to rise again,
creating miracles!
Even if this time, the experience has already turned so cold—
but recently, two exchanges’ “quiet” shutdowns,
have officially kicked off crypto’s funeral~
What is an exchange?
It is the topmost existence in the entire crypto pyramid ecosystem!
Put simply, it’s the small group that makes the most money!
Even mid-tier small and medium exchanges can still rake in profits hand over fist!
And now, they’re starting to step away from the table on their own—
not like FTX, which blew up and fell,
but exiting so gracefully,
and that’s what’s most chilling!
If there’s still even a shred of hope,
getting through the bear market is not hard for those exchanges that have made mountains of gold and silver.
—If even they can’t last, what does that mean?
Crypto is dead!
The big pie hasn’t even hit $100w,
so how is crypto already dead?
Altcoins are dead!
Across the entire crypto industry, from small fry to the big exchanges,
everyone was actually kept alive by altcoins,
not BTC.
When altcoins die,
the whole industry is left with only the big pie,
how can one tree support a whole forest?
Altcoins are dead,
on the surface, what dies are just some “air coins” that quietly harvest small fries,
and many people will clap and cheer: serves them right!
But in reality, what dies is crypto’s dreams.
Without dreams, how do you harvest greedy small fries?
When the market is left with only memes,
left with only betting the big or small inside contracts,
will small fries still bite?
Crypto is dead,
crypto dreams are dead,
the crypto industry is dead,
but the big pie hasn’t died~
Saying crypto dreams are dead—
because now, there are no fools left to shout: Decentralize Everything!
The entrepreneurial dream and passion of “blockchain + everything” has already dissipated.
After years of exploration, people have probably figured out the practical boundaries of blockchain technology,
like a Chieftain’s mule from whose intentions you can see through,
like Voldemort who has been exposed for holding the ace up his sleeve—
once the veil of the unknown is stripped away, they’re just mortal flesh—
In the end, people found that blockchain truly comes down to only three things:
one chain (blockchain ledger technology),
one coin (stablecoins),
one pie (BTC).
And on top of these, DeFi can be said to be the culmination of all crypto innovation.
Crypto dreams may have died,
but crypto technology is eternal—
or even, the prosperity of crypto technology is only just getting started.
It will be widely applied across every industry, especially in finance.
Saying the crypto industry is dead—
without a menagerie of weird altcoins, crypto is left with only three dry staples: chain, coin, pie.
In the future, whether it’s RWA or crypto payments, the dominant force will be traditional finance,
and old-school crypto people will find it hard to catch this wave of dividends anymore.
This exodus of crypto talent is almost irreversible—
In the end, everything in crypto will be deeply integrated into traditional finance,
like a hundred rivers returning to the sea,
from then on, nameless—but also not dead.
Since everyone is dying, only the big pie (BTC) hasn’t died.
BTC and altcoins—
it’s like one person ascends to heaven, and even the chickens and dogs rise with them;
but in the end, the chickens and dogs are also sacrificed to the ancestors,
to help the ancestors go even further.
Today’s BTC isn’t just an asset recognized by the mainstream anymore,
it’s also a symbol—
carrying the ideology of decentralization, and all the dreams of crypto~
Finally,
did crypto dreams really die?
If it can let BTC, a decentralized symbol, enter society and take deep root in people’s hearts,
if it can make blockchain technology widely adopted,
isn’t that also a kind of success?
Isn’t it also a difficult and massive step forward?
It’s just that,
the era of making fortunes with hundred-baggers really is over.
In fact, from the moment we entered the field,
we were already clear that this explosion couldn’t be sustained—
it’s just that now, we’re finally being forced to face reality.
The dream is awake.

Reading this, I believe everyone will ask in their hearts:
Will the big pie reach $100w ?
Who knows?
Leave it for later verification.
What will be, will be~
