Why We No Longer Love Crypto

The article "Why We No Longer Passionate About Crypto" explores the growing sense of disillusionment among crypto veterans. Many who once found excitement in the space now feel stuck, particularly those not working on stablecoins, financial infrastructure, or DeFi. The author notes that the previous era—where developer-focused products thrived on vibes rather than revenue—ended about 18 months ago. The crypto market for non-financial applications is now seen as limited, with an estimated annual addressable market of only $200–300 million, leading many builders to feel they have few viable paths forward. The rise of AI has intensified this frustration, as it offers faster innovation and more tangible product development compared to crypto’s current constraints. The author outlines several unappealing options for those exploring crypto-AI intersections: tokenizing traditional AI products without real utility, building decentralized AI infrastructure (which lacks immediate feedback), or competing with giants in AI-focused stablecoin infrastructure. Despite this pessimism, the author concludes with a note of optimism: Crypto’s unique value lies in its ability to serve as "capital superconductor" for growth. The convergence of AI-driven product innovation and crypto’s programmable capital mechanisms could fuel a new generation of "agent-based companies," creating a renewed sense of purpose for those who remain.
