I mean, I still haven’t heard of the core tech of crypto being invalidated in any way. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Ripple are all still genuine projects with solid principles. To me, it still looks a lot like the .com bubble era of the 00’s: there was a veritable Cambrian explosion of mutations on ideas, and now you’re left with what was fit and what wasn’t. You can’t say crypto doesn’t work when the only people who have truly “used” it in any way shape or form thus far are scam artists. Crypto may nonetheless be dead because of optics and public opinion, but that is a signal that needs another decade to measure, and meanwhile there is still genuine work being done out there. Seems silly to claim it’s dead now, when everytime popular opinion is that “we finally buried it” it pops right back out of the dirt.
