❌Easy money in crypto is over Good post from DeFiIgnas. Most easy money cycles last 3–7 years. Crypto stretched it to ~8. From ICOs in 2017 to DeFi, NFTs, airdrops, points farming, memecoins. History shows the same pattern: ➡️ Tulip mania lasted ~3 years ➡️ Dot-com bubble ran ~5 years before Nasdaq dropped 78% ➡️ Japan bubble lasted ~6 years, recovery took 34 years ➡️ Gold rush cycles ended once surface deposits were exhausted Crypto followed this path. Early easy gains attracted more players. Edges got copied and scaled. Airdrops are now farmed by industrial sybils. Memecoins shifted from community experiments to extraction. Mining moved from retail to large operators. The structure is changing. More regulation. More TradFi involvement. More focus on tokenization and real assets. For retail, simple opportunities are mostly gone. What remains requires real infrastructure, users, and revenue. That means more specialization and real work. The game didn’t disappear. It just stopped being easy. ✅Follow@cryp
