Crypto has transformed from a niche market to a global phenomenon over the past decade.
The author notes that the industry's growth is not solely driven by speculation but also by real-world adoption and usage. He argues that the value of cryptocurrency lies in its ability to provide financial services without intermediaries, such as banks or traditional exchanges.
Despite the industry's growth, the author highlights the importance of sustainable participation, rather than just open participation. This means that the industry must focus on providing stable, transparent, and reliable services to users.
