Why the fuck do I see somebody every day, almost always a newbie/jr or member rank asking if we think this is the end of crypto? Are you the same idiot on about 10 different accounts just posting the same old FUD everywhere? Why on earth would crypto be anywhere near it's end? It's up almost 10,000% since 2016. TEN THOUSAND PERCENT! Think about that for a while, and name some other industries that have exploded 100 fold in 2 years?
For people newer to crypto, it's a fairly reasonable consideration. "Is crypto a fad or is the hype real", etc. etc. There will be tens of millions of people asking this same question over the next n years, even as the market shifts and winners and losers become more prominent.
There's a very real possibility that coins (a) without inherent value and (b) without support will drop out of existence.. but that's how economies work, tokenized or not. Once people see the market value as a representation of what it is -- the growth (and demise) of a collection of microeconomies -- the macroeconomy will grow even stronger around tokens worthy of their value.
