I don't think the narrative that CT has taken this year is as controversial as it seems.

And the reason is actually quite simple: there's less content about cryptocurrency.
A lot of people have moved toward AI or following Elon Musk's money. You can like it or not, but that's what's happening.
Also, after the InfoFi phase, many small accounts lost the economic incentive to stay active here.
That said, none of this means this is dead forever or that you should throw in the towel. Ultimately, people go where the money is.
Those who moved from crypto content to OpenAI didn't become AI experts overnight.
They simply think there are more opportunities there right now.
The positive part (if you can call it that) is that they'll also come back when money returns to cryptocurrency.
And when that happens, CT will also regain strength.
In my opinion, this is just another symptom of a bear market.
