"Working in crypto today isn’t about believing harder than everyone else. It’s about recognizing where we are on the curve." Just threw this article up on X. Would love your thoughts on it. 🫶 https://lnkd.in/emiEXijf

Really well articulated! This article captures the shift perfectly. Crypto’s gone through every phase from hype to skepticism, and what’s happening now feels fundamentally different. The infrastructure is more mature and battle-tested, and the market is shifting toward real utility and long-term builders. It’s no longer about quick speculation, real value creation and serious players finally matter.
The “where we are on the curve” framing is right. The part most people skip, consumer abstraction isn’t just nicer UI it’s reversibility, support and someone accountable when it goes sideways. Until the average person can make a mistake and recover, it stays infrastructure.

Nice! The comparison to the mobile push is very relevant! I also think the huge ML, programmatic push around the late 2010's is also not too dissimilar. either way - great time to get into crypto!
I’m not sure what working in crypto means anymore. Five years ago I pivoted into crypto and there was a tangible energy - like AI has today. The infrastructure is insanely useful but trust outside of institutional growth has eroded. I hope are new wave of energy will emerge.

It's interesting but a very tech lens on infrastructure. The critical infrastructure Clearing is still a component of exchanges and the capital efficiency doesn't challenge older analogue approaches. Until serious money pours into actual infrastructure it will still be considered new and the measure will be adoption rates.

Feels like crypto is in its “AWS before startups” phase. Not the loudest moment, but building in this part of the curve teaches you things you probably can’t learn later.
Portfolio rebalancing for crypto
I think that nowadays, working in crypto is more about understanding how crypto technologies can help regular people from the web2 world solve their problems and pain points It’s no longer about creating a hyped Web3 product for crypto OGs, but about finding a real use case where crypto is genuinely useful
