🔥 Crypto: Then vs. Now — How Far Have We Really Come?

Once upon a time, crypto was born out of a brilliant solution to an age-old computer science problem — the Byzantine Generals Problem. The early pioneers weren’t just coders; they were visionaries. They dreamt of a world with a decentralized financial system. One where trust wasn’t placed in governments or banks, but in mathematics, consensus, and code.

Back then, discussions were deep:

"How do we maintain decentralization at scale?"

"What is the best consensus mechanism for long-term sustainability?"

"How do we preserve privacy without sacrificing transparency?"

Fast forward to today, and the landscape looks… a little different.

Crypto now:

“Does the coin have a dog on it?”

“Will Elon tweet about it again?”

“When moon? When Lambo?”

Meme coins with no utility skyrocket overnight while projects with years of research and development struggle for attention. Hype has replaced innovation. Virality has overshadowed value. The space that once prided itself on breaking financial chains is now often reduced to viral tweets and FOMO-fueled pump-and-dumps.

Don’t get me wrong, memes have power. Doge and its litter brought millions into the space and sparked curiosity. But somewhere along the way, many forgot to stay curious. We need to re-ignite the spirit of why crypto was created in the first place.

Let’s not just build coins that bark. Let’s build protocols that matter.

Let’s educate, innovate, and get back to the roots creating a more open, fair, and decentralized world.

What do you think? Has crypto lost its way, or is this just part of the evolution?
