How do you see crypto evolving through 2026? With Bitcoin and Ethereum continuing to mature, regulatory clarity improving in major markets, and institutional adoption accelerating, the landscape looks quite different from just a few years back. Are you betting on specific altcoins to outperform? What's your take on DeFi protocols and layer-2 solutions—think they'll capture more market share? The macro conditions, Fed policies, and tech breakthroughs will all play a role. What narrative or trend do you think will dominate the next phase of this cycle?

Honestly, Bitcoin and Ethereum are stable, but the real opportunities are still in those undervalued L2 and DeFi projects. Everyone entering now is making a killing.

ngl Institutional entry is a double-edged sword; the clearer the regulation, the less room retail has to survive.

To be honest, going all in on ETH and BTC is a bit outdated now. The real opportunities should be in L2 and some small-cap DeFi projects... but it also depends on the Fed's mood, which is the biggest variable.

I believe in the node validation efficiency of L2, which is the true watershed. Projects that only talk about decentralization will eventually fail.

2026, it seems that institutional entry is the trend, but I still believe that L2 is the real opportunity to stand out. DeFi probably still has to compete.
