"crypto winters" should only be a term if there is no technological progress (similar to ai winter) but because of crypto exchanges they refer to investment $$$..... The value on crypto exchanges in just dumb, pointless, and manipulated.

Personally i always felt stock market and crypto exchanges are just mirror images of each other. Both are just scammy/scummy and its sad the the stock market isn't seen as such because its older and so ingrained into our society + economy. While there are legitimate uses for such a market (food and energy futures) they make up such a tiny tiny percentage of what its used for.
