2025 is unironically “worse” because in 2022 bad things were happening but crypto was the center of the action and the star of the show. You could ascribe negative price action to catalysts that you knew we were going to work through.
Now crypto is the forgotten child, with AI and the mag7 starring. Retail is focused on datacenters quantum and rare earth stocks. Crypto is trending down based on no catalysts, just exhaustion and lack of attention and buyers and a long DAT hangover.
Does this mean it’s over? No just the “4 year cycle” and “alt szn” are obsolete concepts. To make money you have to actually deliver value, and that’s a grim prospect to many
a little shocked by the amount of people agreeing with this shitpost
guys 2022 was so much worse its hard to even compare, credit shops were blowing up left and right, friends were disappearing from telegram chats every day, crypto companies going ghost not operating but still exist like the walking dead, funds closing their doors, charts were a constant falling knife with cascading liquidations
it wasn't only embarrassing to be in crypto people assumed you were a legit criminal if you were here
to quote Haseeb "Luna collapsing, then 3AC, then FTX, then Genesis, BlockFi, Axie, NFTs--pretty much everything felt like a house of cards.
And then after all that stuff collapsed, the BANKS collapsed, stablecoins depegged, Gary Gensler and the president tried to destroy almost every company in the industry"
2025 is basically alts having a small case of erectile dysfunction
crypto is entrenched in the future of global finance now things are going to be ok
My advice is to decouple yourself emotionally from crypto and stop putting so much pressure on yourself to “make it” “this cycle”. Real life doesn’t work like that. Youve been fooled by the last decade of crypto price action. It’s not gonna be like that any more. Making it requires building things and delivering actual value.
