It's time to separate the crypto from Web3. Old Deng's narrative, lacking imagination and focused on compliance, belongs to Web3.
For example, BTC, VC coins, and even celebrity coins are characterized by their eagerness to bow to the traditional world and take photos with political figures from various countries. However, the true crypto will continue to emerge from the blockchain; it might be a brilliant dev that weaves a stunning "lie" to make the whole world dance. The most imaginative ideas always originate from the community.
AI will only accelerate the realization of more imaginations. I believe some new things are emerging, the code is about to be deployed, leaving the old-fashioned feel to web3.
Leave your enthusiasm for new things to the crypto.
