I hate to break it to you, but crypto has been "over" many times, only to come roaring back. It's cyclical, based on the price of Bitcoin.

I expect people will go nuts about it again in a few years before temporarily abandoning it.

At least that was the case in 2011, 2013, 2017 and 2020-21.

I don't see any value in crypto projects personally, but if you think it's going away forever, expect disappointment.

As long as sanctions and ransomware exist, I don’t think it will ever fully die. But I don’t think the price will ever hit an ATH again without SBF, tether, and their co-conspirators pumping the price by printing stablecoins out of thin air.

Pretty much everyone has heard of crypto by now. The Ponzi scheme is out of marks. There will be no next time. Sell now if you’re still holding the bag.

crypto could stand still and inflation would bring it to an all-time high in a few years at this rate

Inflation hurts speculative assets the most. In the last 2 years, BTC is down 50% despite inflation being at the highest level seen since the 1980s.
