According to ChainCatcher, Nic Carter, the father of smart contracts and co-founder of Castle Island Ventures, posted on social media that the market outlook for 2025 is "worse," which is not ironic, because while some bad things happened in 2022, cryptocurrency was at the center and focus of all events. The price decline can be attributed to catalysts that we are destined to overcome.
Cryptocurrencies have become the forgotten child, with artificial intelligence and the Big Seven US stocks taking center stage. Retail investors are focused on data centers, quantum computing, and rare earth stocks. The decline in cryptocurrencies is not due to any catalyst, but simply to market weakness, lack of attention and buyers, and the aftereffects of DAT's prolonged slump.
Does this mean it's all over? No, it just means that concepts like the "four-year cycle" and the "alternative investment season" are outdated. To make money, you must actually create value, which is a significant challenge for many.
