Was just talking to someone I've worked with in the past and who I've known for years (through crypto) We were talking about the de-evolution of this space. When we started (2017 for me), this space was exciting. There was so much to learn, and most of us spent time sharing information and teaching each other what we learned. People use to call crypto the "wild west" but in hindsight, it was tame compared to the way it is now. There were bad players back then, but they were the minority. Most of the community was energized and hopeful. Fast forward almost 8 years: 90% of this space is garbage. Anyone can pretend to be a developer, influencer, community leader with zero qualifications. Many of those who entered after 2021 are willing to do just about anything for quick money. That includes rugging, stealing, lying, impersonating.....anything goes. There are still legitimate projects out there, building potentially game-changing products, but liquidity is constantly being misdirected to high-stakes gambles that typically turn out to be rugs. Why? Because this is an immature, irresponsible population. There's a deficit of investors and a surplus of gamblers. People live under the false expectation that they will become wealthy overnight. It's a lie and it's ruining the space. 90% of you will walk away from this industry with less money than you started with while working that 9-5 5% of the industry will take most of the money you lose by manipulating you. The other 5% will park most their money in projects that build and generate revenue. Those people will be set for life in 5-10 years. This is something that most don't comprehend. If a project generates revenue, it's a potential investment. If it only generates "community", hype or fomo, it's a gamble. If you want to gamble, I can point you towards a slot machine. At least it won't fill your head with false promises, then spend your money on a Lambo from a Dubai dealership. This place needs a drastic cleansing. I hope it comes before it's too late.

Watch how many people reply to this post with a garbage shill of another coin, without even reading my post. That will tell you all you need to know, and validates my position even more.
