This bull cycle accidentally created some of the most brilliant marketing plays we've ever seen. Look at how these products got rebranded:
Onchain trading? Basically a poker table. You're playing with real money, real odds, zero emotional guardrails.
Prediction markets? That's just sports betting with a decentralized wrapper. Same dopamine hit, different venue.
Perp DEXes are essentially what 0DTE stock options used to be—or just straight-up slot machines for anyone without proper risk management. The house always wins eventually.
Then there's RWA. Real World Assets. The most abstract term nobody could actually explain. A solution searching for a problem, dressed up in buzzwords?
The cycle didn't create innovation so much as it created a masterclass in repackaging existing financial behaviors with crypto branding. Same games, shinier interface.

Basically, it's a casino disguised as crypto, just a different flavor of the same old thing.

To be honest, the current crypto world is just gambling under the guise of investment. perp, 0dte, prediction market—it's the same old story with a different name.

Basically, it's just a different appearance; gambling is still gambling. Does crypto really only play with packaging?

Basically, it's just gambling with a different appearance; crypto is just wrapping traditional financial tricks in a shinier package.
