Well, we made it to Saturday again!
I came down with something this week, and while the physical symptoms were pretty mild–I had some major brain fog.
Fun.
Fortunately, I still managed to crank out some decent content–even if my conversations weren’t as sharp as I prefer.
And thankfully, I’m bouncing back and feel more like myself today.
But enough about me–let’s talk crypto!
I remember, from time to time, that even though we’ve seen major advances, we’re still super early in the technology adoption cycle when it comes to crypto/web3.
I had a great conversation with a new friend yesterday, and he said something that you’ve heard me say before.
We’re still in the “dot com bubble” stage of adoption.
That means any and every “crypto” can get a massive valuation, no matter how much or how little value it actually creates.
It reminded me of this article–and one of my bigger warnings for those HODLing crypto:
>> The Protocol Wars: Are You HODLing Worthless Coinage
Check it out. It was one of my coherent thoughts this week lol
There are still so many outstanding use cases for crypto and smart contracts… plays that could bring tremendous value to the market… and the people who participate in the ownership ecosystem, but…
A lot of those projects are sitting on the shelf, collecting dust, because the over-hyped projects are stealing the limelight.
It is what it is. Sometimes you want the world to be one way, but it’s not.
Over a long enough time frame though, things that create real value win. Hype loses.
‘Nuff said.
And while we wait for the long plays to pan out, I thought I’d share some insight that’s been circling among the crypto punditry.
This may give you some insights into why the markets are behaving the way they are right now–and what to expect in the future:

I hope you find some value in both articles!

P.S. AI stocks were on a tear. Then DeepSeek sent a chill down investors’ spines. But if you think the AI stock boom is over, well…
Let’s just say I disagree.
The party’s just getting started. And one $20 stock is fueling the AI boom.
If you are looking for the perfect retirement stock...
Your search may be over.
AMD, NVIDIA, META... none of these companies could exist without this firm. And you can own it for only about $20 a share.
At least for now.
