The debate about 'alts are finished' often misses a crucial point: crypto operates on fundamentally different mechanics than traditional asset classes.

Crypto isn't just another risk asset—it's a completely different funding infrastructure. Teams can raise capital faster and with fewer barriers compared to conventional capital markets. That's the real structural advantage.

Tokens solve a problem. They give projects a direct path to capital without navigating traditional gatekeepers. Speed matters. Efficiency matters. And that's why tokens exist—because they fundamentally change how capital flows into projects.

That's right. Every time I hear people say "alt is dead," it gets annoying, and they totally miss the point. Token is just a black technology to bypass that bunch of old-fashioned gatekeepers, with speed that's worlds apart. This is truly the real structural edge.

yeah sure, "fundamentally different mechanics" until the rug pull happens lol. seen this exact narrative play out like a dozen times already. speed and efficiency? more like speed-running straight into predictable vulnerabilities. classic gatekeeper-removal fantasy that somehow forgets why gatekeepers existed in the first place.
