The debate about 'alts are finished' often misses a crucial point: crypto operates on fundamentally different mechanics than traditional asset classes.
Crypto isn't just another risk asset—it's a completely different funding infrastructure. Teams can raise capital faster and with fewer barriers compared to conventional capital markets. That's the real structural advantage.
Tokens solve a problem. They give projects a direct path to capital without navigating traditional gatekeepers. Speed matters. Efficiency matters. And that's why tokens exist—because they fundamentally change how capital flows into projects.

yeah sure, "fundamentally different mechanics" until the rug pull happens lol. seen this exact narrative play out like a dozen times already. speed and efficiency? more like speed-running straight into predictable vulnerabilities. classic gatekeeper-removal fantasy that somehow forgets why gatekeepers existed in the first place.

NGL, that's the real point. Whether altcoins die or not is not the main issue; the key is that the funding model itself has changed.

ngl this is the real point, the traditional VC approach should have been eliminated long ago
