you got a BTC and ETH ETF approved in the US after a decade plus of advocacy
you got the likes of Stripe and PayPal supporting stablecoins appreciating they'll make e-commerce faster, better, cheaper (less fraud, faster checkout, more worldwide access)
you're seeing signs of a path towards regulatory clarity; courts have ruled in favor in most crypto cases (Coinbase, Ripple, Greyscale)
you're seeing more applications being launched and used across social, DePIN, gaming and DeFi. None are perfect by any stretch of the imagination (nothing ever is) but getting better and showing strong uptake and retention (more than 100 true fans)
you have crypto becoming a presidential topic in the upcoming US elections; one candidate openly supporting crypto and another which is realizing it's importance and shifting to a more neutral/balanced tune
you have DePIN networks that are case studies of how to bootstrap and scale infra networks in a more capital efficient manner. It's impact to networks will be similar to how software-as-a-service (SaaS) transformed internet business models. DePIN's benefits will be realized by DIY enthusiasts who participate and earn in networks (no different than Bitcoin miners) and consumers who get more access, coverage and lower fees to core services like internet, mobile, and GPS/location
is crypto going away? no
will it be a volatile and non-linear trajectory? yes, a reflection of it's nascent, exploratory stage
will it transform industries? absolutely
carry on
