Aevo's co-founder said he wasted eight years in the crypto industry.
I've been in the crypto industry for almost five years now.
But even with a bear market looming, I still feel that my dedication to this industry isn't meaningless.
The significance of crypto to the world shouldn't be overshadowed by some unsuccessful narratives along the way. Failures are merely attempts on the road to success, and some of these attempts will inevitably succeed and make the world a better place.
Nic Carter, co-founder of Castle Island Ventures, quickly wrote an article titled "I Don't Regret Spending Eight Years in Crypto."
He mentioned the significance of crypto to the world: making monetary systems more robust, encoding business logic with smart contracts, making digital property rights real, improving capital market efficiency, and expanding global financial inclusion.
Bitcoin was created to answer the question: "Can we actually build a monetary system that doesn't rely on any centralized institution?"
It's a distant prospect, or currently seems unrealistic; we may not live to see it. But I firmly believe that a monetary system independent of any centralized institution is the ultimate form of currency for human society.
When material productivity and technology have developed to a great extent, one day in the future we may truly have a currency that we don't need to trust anyone; what we're experiencing now is just a chaotic period in its development.
Those who share the same beliefs only need to adhere to: Develop cautiously and avoid recklessness.
Wait another ten years, and you'll see.
