I try to sum up crypto in 2025 to people with a song lyric Outkast - Hey Ya "Y'all don't wanna hear me, you just wanna dance" I can't stress it enough, people just want to dance "Dance" in crypto = speculate and gamble People want to show up to a party to party, might as well let them have a banging party People know if they drink a lot at a party they'll wake up hungover the next day, and they still show up to party We don't need to lecture them on why they should party or not, just let them have fun for the reasons they came here for and make the party the best experience ever I think that's why Ethereum is in the state that it's in They kept trying to lecture the party-goers that just wanted to dance, on why and why not they should be partying and what they should be listening to at the party, what they should be drinking or not etc. Too much to the point it ruined the Ethereum party Solana won because they just let people party and dance, and made the experience fun as fuck for everyone that showed up I also love Ripple for this reason, it's the Uber driver's favorite token Ripple is still a top 5 coin in 2025 and with all the “fair distributions PoW coins” not one of them being in top 10 should tell you as to how much people like being lectured about “team holding most of the supply” or “team is making money dumping the token” or any of these narratives, they are meaningless outside of the CT bubble Ripple holders truly just wanna speculate and gamble and can care less about anyone lecturing them on the FUD "Y'all don't wanna hear me, you just wanna dance"
