The crypto market may eventually evolve into something like the precious metals market—characterized by bull and bear cycles, leverage tools that are dozens or even hundreds of times, and a thriving trading environment. But the difference is that no one would consider precious metals as an incremental growth track; they only attract swing traders and speculators.

This market isn't necessarily bad; liquidity is ample, and tools are comprehensive. The problem is that it has lost its freshness. There are no more incremental stories left; what remains is a zero-sum game between existing assets and chips.

Investors find it hard to get excited because they see no innovation. Only traders remain endlessly enthusiastic.

Laughing to death, this is the entire process from "I want to change the world" to "I want to make you money." --- Sufficient liquidity? Isn't that just more tricks and faster losing money? --- No more stories of growth; let's start telling a comedy, since we're all performing on the stage anyway. --- Traders are tirelessly enthusiastic, investors see no innovation—why is the difference so big? --- Honestly, from a paradise for dreamers to a gambler's playground, it happens so quickly. --- A zero-sum game, everyone. You earn, I lose; I lose, he crashes. --- Once a Web3 savior, now just an upgraded version of a futures exchange—kind of ironic. --- As long as there are people wanting to make quick money, this game won't die, but it won't flourish either.

Honestly, this is just fate. Bulls and bears take turns, leverage tools are complete, but there's no more story... Really, that kind of excitement gradually fades away.

In plain terms, it's turning from a track into a casino; without a story, no one will come.

Basically, it's gone from an incremental game to a battle for existing assets. Who can get excited about that?

Ultimately, there's no more imagination; all the previous narratives are dead.

You're not wrong, but it just feels like something's missing—the feeling of being able to sit back and win effortlessly is gone.

Damn, that really hits close to home... Without an incremental story, it's just too boring.

Basically, there's no more story behind it, it all turns into the same old casino routine. Those of us who truly believe are still waiting for the next Bitcoin moment, but everyone is just playing with leverage and harvesting profits. It's a bit boring.

so you're saying crypto becomes just another casino with better liquidity? actually the math doesn't check out here... if it's truly zero-sum, leverage tools don't create value, they just redistribute losses faster. classic death spiral setup tbh
