This is why I believe crypto, as a subculture, is dead. 

It’s all tech now, and it’s all collectively devolving toward slop unless we decide to do something about it.

Aragon raised $25m in 15min in 2017 to build unstoppable organizations, today powering the Ethereum economy.

Pumpfun raised half a billy in 15min in 2025 to… launch memecoins?

We have massively regressed.

That is true. Crypto today is all about trading. Nothing more. Blockchain as a tech is still legit though.
