What is the current state of the crypto market? Honestly, looking at the decreasing number of people coming here, it's quite clear.

From an investment perspective, how would you choose? Would you allocate to traditional commodities like gold, silver, and copper, or chase those centralized tokens with low liquidity and high TVL, or even some concept coins with no real value backing?

The fundamental issue is that the crypto ecosystem has deviated from its original principles. It was initially about decentralization and financial freedom, but now it is filled with speculation and air projects. How many of those so-called innovative new projects are actually implemented?

The market needs to reassess its direction. Only by returning to the original intention and establishing real application scenarios and value foundations can cryptocurrencies regain trust. Otherwise, any new concept or project is just a rebranding of the same old game.

That really hits home, but isn't this just reality... People have all dispersed, and those remaining are still playing with concept coins😅

It should have been clear by now, a bunch of Ponzi schemes and concept coins are still bouncing around. --- Gold remains stable, but the real profit-makers have never been in safe assets. --- Decentralization? Laughs. It's currently a centralized game where a few big players harvest the leeks. --- Truly useful projects have long been buried; now it's all hype and speculation. --- Instead of worrying about which to choose, better to ask yourself how much you can afford to lose. --- Return to the original intention? Human nature doesn't change; speculation will always exist. --- Watching new projects launch one after another and then go back to zero—that's the market cycle.

That's right, those who come in now are indeed here to gamble, no one believes anymore. I'll go with gold directly, at least I can sleep peacefully.

That's right, it's a mess right now. Compared to those worthless tokens, I still trust gold more — at least I can hold it.

Getting back to the original intention sounds nice, but who really cares? After all, there will always be someone to buy the dip. Honestly, rather than application scenarios, I care more about whether I can make quick money, otherwise what's the point of all the hassle. It's already 2024, and we're still talking about the ideal of decentralization. Wake up already, this has long become a capital game.
