A bit disappointed to see what made #crypto special being slowly destroyed — and no one really cares.

Maybe it was naive to believe there were still people who truly cared about #decentralization and organic growth. But that’s barely the case anymore.

And honestly, it’s not just the corrupt billionaires and institutions taking over. That was to be expected if mass adoption was the goal.

The real problem is the people. 95% don’t care if they crash everything, as long as they believe it’ll 1000x someday, somewhere — which it won’t anymore, or at best, is extremely unlikely.

There’s definitely a place for that — gambling has its right to exist. But these days, greed has turned everything into gambling.

And so millions keep flowing into scams and trash — projects that are neither sustainable nor meaningful, forgotten within hours, days, or weeks.
Real money is made with slow cooks.

The rest is just luck.
