Is it fine to say that crypto world would be better still today without the involvement of VCs? Or there is a catch?
1. Do you think their involvement is helpful?
2. Can crypto still survive without them?

What is VC? Venture capital? Virtual currency? I suppose you are talking about venture capital 1. Yes their involvement is helpful because they will invest money where they think is better, giving money to good ideas. 2. Bitcoin doesn't need them to survive. Bitcoin was created without any investor or capital and doesn't need it. Only the community of users.

The price will be way below than the current price and possibly we will not reach the ATH without them. Also the increase of liquidity of crypto all over the exchange is due to the VC that investing on exchange and other project liquidity. Without them most of the orderbook is very thin because retail traders usually don’t set limit orders on there trade.
They are helpful and essential on crypto growth because we can freely buy and sell crypto anytime using huge amount compared before that we can’t trade high amount without giving huge price impact to the market. Exchange is worst before if you need to liquidate your asset immediately because market order will give you pretty low result than the estimated value when you do limit order due to lack of liquidity.
Crypto will survive without them but the growth will be slow since there will be low resources to fund the project’s development.

I do not think there is any point asking what is better or who we need to invest in Bitcoin. I could not care less about the whole investment issue. You should understand that Bitcoin did not come from the need of any investor or for any entrance. Bitcoin became this big because people started to use it. People are willing to use Bitcoin. I do not see why we want to get money from venture capital companies just to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not need venture capital. It has been designed that way, and this is a very good thing. We do not need more money, we need more people using Bitcoin.

Yes the Usage and the utilities Bitcoin can offer can push Bitcoin adoption more than the investment or monetary value it can give. But I am not going to make any investor in Bitcoin feel bad. It’s their choice. I use Bitcoin and if I am lucky enough to get bitcoin and also find ways to increase my portfolio with it I would appreciate that. My main concern or reason in joining Bitcoin was my curiosity and how it can help out the financial system. Crypto-currency is risky and I can’t over emphasize that, entering Venture capital in crypto-currency without researching would not have a happy ending.

1. Depends what specific VC company. Some VCs are totally predatory and just wanted to buy coins/tokens/shares for cheaper, while some provide great insight to the crypto company.
2. Yes, but VCs make a lot of companies thrive a lot easier due to VC funding.

1. Do you think their involvement is helpful?
You think VCs are here to make crypto bigger? Nope! They are here to make money Look how messed up the markets are getting lately. Personally, i think crypto was way better before this big players started coming in. 2. Can crypto still survive without them?
A long as the initial aim of a cryptocurrency was not to raise money and make the CEOs get rich quick like bitcoin...Yes!

Take your mind off venture capitals, they are humans like you and they are here to make money, some people like myself have 10$ to invest and VCs have millions of dollars to invest, that's the difference.
There is a ecosystem called Bluezilla, any project they invest money on will dump very fast, I've studied them for a whole year, from the likes of MetaVpad to PolyPad, be careful with any project thats involved with this BlueZilla most especially.

Most of the new projects that are going to launch in the market needs funding as there is lot of work to do and you need a team if we are seeing it from this side but on a general note also the VC firms has put lot of investment in the market keeping circulation and liquidity high and in their absence retail investors would not take the market cap to these levels.So we need to understand they also put money for profits but giving a initial boost to the market so yes in my opinion crypto won't survive in good and profitable condition.

What I know is that bitcoin do not depend on VC, bitcoin will always survive, but probably that altcoins may depend on venture capital. Venture capital companies are not just existing, they are existing because they make money and grow in what they invested on, if they invested on crypto, that means they make profit from crypto, but just that they invest more money which can help crypto growth.

Venture Capitalists aren't on my mind, so I'm not too bothered about what the future holds for them. It will likely exist in some sort of way though. 2. Yes, but VCs make a lot of companies thrive a lot easier due to VC funding.
Typical catch 22. Obviously, the additional funding is definitely helpful, but generally there's some sort of motive towards putting that money where they choose. Obviously, I'm not saying all are absolutely terrible, but the vast majority are probably more hurtful than they're helpful. bitcoin will always survive
I don't know about always survive, but it won't be VC's that cause its demise.

Some of the VCs encourage investors to put money in BTC and they work hard to disseminated Bitcoin around the globe so that they could gain a lot in return. These firms have lots of Bitcoin in their possession and with the work they're doing, helps the market to grow too. Though, it doesn't matter who is more important in the market, yet the big players who do the right thing and striving to spread the message of bitcoin should be regarded as essential people to the market.

You may want to define an abbreviation you're using for the first and which isn't a popular terminology. It's a good way to start. Don't take this for granted. Assumption is not a good way to start or leave a thing. You took for granted that everyone knows what a VC is and I've read a couple of wavering comments on that. Now, in your conception, what is a VC? I believe a proper alignment of that will get you real responses to the question you asked.

Venture capitals helps to spread the word about crypto better than anything else, while the world is waiting for crypto regulations venture capitals are giving people the confidence to invest, since they are also doing it.
It's helpful we have them.

Crypto start ups can't survive without them. It is a safe way of funding and since the outside investor is only taking up shares from the company for a limited period of time it can be a way to get guidance and consultations as well as decision making and financial management. The money invested in this new crypto. projects could come in the form of ICOs. Venture capital funds cannot be done without in crypto they are very important for start-ups.

Imo, would be better without VCs, but then again they are part and parcel of finance, so kind of integral part.
Less vcs, less people would be lured into projects thinking this and this project got this much $, it must be legit!

as a small investor that join a couple of Venture Capital my answer, the VC is needed because it make the development and push the crypto even further but not all Venture Capital is Good, sometimes there is community VC that actually scam people.
Of course the key of VC involvement is for Profit but with them traditional VC can also thrive to join crypto industry.
I think the best VC for Crypto is decentralized VC so with a lot of member involvement

1. Do you think their involvement is helpful?
It is both helpful and harmful. - Helpful because VCs will expose cryptocurrency to more people. They already have their own networks and are able to expand their networks quickly with resources they have. More exposure, more cryptocurrency enthusiasts and more capital will pour into this market.
- Harmful because VCs can be scam groups too. With this side effect, they will make people feeling more negatively about this market.
2. Can crypto still survive without them?
It will do. Before 2020 bull run, importance of VCs was smaller dramatically and we had this market since 2009 without VCs or with less VCs.
Similarly for the cryptocurrency market without China, USA. it will still exist but short term effects should be very big. The market and its investors will be shocked and panic.

In a world without venture capital, it is likely that the development and growth of the cryptocurrency industry would be significantly different. Venture capital firms play a crucial role in providing funding for early-stage startups, allowing them to develop their technologies and bring their products to market. Without this funding, many cryptocurrency startups may struggle to get off the ground, limiting the growth and innovation in the industry.
Without venture capital, it is possible that the pace of development in the cryptocurrency industry would be slower, as startups would have to find alternative sources of funding. This could include things like crowdfunding campaigns or relying on the support of a dedicated community of users. It is also possible that the industry would become more centralized, with a smaller number of larger companies dominating the market, rather than the diverse ecosystem of startups that currently exists.
Overall, the absence of venture capital would likely have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency industry, potentially limiting its growth and innovation.

Its possible actually. But without solid fund of VC nowadays there would be difficulty to continue on the development. Unless the project itself is funded by those developer themselves and working on their own and using their own funds. But its quite normal to have VCs. Sometimes we really need to check first a VC that sincere in supporting and not just someone will dumped their shares when the time comes.
