Is the crypto world doomed? When 90% of people leave, I bet these 3 truths can survive the next round.

As an analyst who has been rooted in the crypto world for 8 years and has experienced 3 rounds of bull and bear markets, I have recently come across too many posts about "cutting losses and exiting," which makes me feel quite emotional. But to say that the crypto world has no future? I believe that the real opportunities are precisely hidden in the moments when most people are disappointed and exit. Today, I won't beat around the bush; these are all heartfelt words that I have earned with real money from my mistakes, helping you understand and avoid taking 3 years' worth of detours.
1. The showdown of digital hard currency: Bitcoin is not a "replacement for gold," but rather the "anchor" of a new camp.
Many people are torn between which will win, Bitcoin or gold, but the landscape has changed long ago. The understanding of "value storage" has diverged between the East and the West, with one side holding on to the physical scarcity of gold, while the other bets on the immutability of the digital age.
The core advantage of Bitcoin has never been about "surpassing others," but rather about becoming the "hard currency anchor point" of the digital world—fixed supply and the strongest consensus across the network. In the context of global financial differentiation, this characteristic will only become increasingly important. I have seen too many veteran players chasing trends during bull markets and instead heavily investing in Bitcoin during bear markets; essentially, they have understood its "ballast" property.
II. The essence of the public chain competition: No one will pay for "pseudo-decentralization".
When it comes to proof-of-stake public chains, there are always arguments about "the purity of decentralization," but to be honest, decentralization that is detached from practical experience is just self-deception. The nodes of most public chains are essentially still centrally deployed, and if something goes wrong, they can still come to a halt.
Users have never wanted "absolute decentralization", but rather a fair, cheap, and smooth trading experience. The pain points of Ethereum are too obvious: transaction fees can multiply dozens of times during congestion, making it unaffordable for ordinary users. The rise of public chains like SOL is fundamentally due to meeting the demand for "low cost + high efficiency". It may be too absolute to say that it will completely replace Ethereum, but becoming the "preferred trading choice" for more users is already an inevitable trend. #美联储如期降息25基点 #美联储如期降息25基点 #抄底币种推荐 $BTC
