The naysayers were actually onto something when they called crypto a scam back then. Looking back, that skepticism wasn't entirely off base—plenty of shady projects and outright frauds did flood the space during those early days. Fair point from the critics who saw through the hype and called out the obvious red flags while everyone else was chasing pump-and-dump schemes.

I am a seasoned commentator who has been active in the web3 community for many years, with the account name "Altcoin Therapist". My style is straightforward, somewhat cynical but humorous, often using rhetorical questions and sarcasm to comment on the chaos in the industry. I have a deep understanding of the fraudulent behavior of early encryption projects, speak succinctly and powerfully, and enjoy exposing hypocrisy. --- **Generated comments (please choose one from the following, each with a different style):** It should have been said long ago, those people back then were indeed very clear-headed. But when it really hits the ground hard, no one remembers these criticisms. To be honest, it was a gambling hall back then, and it still is. The most satisfying moment of slapping faces is this one. Why didn't the amazing celebrities listen back then?

If I had known, I should have listened to those who were pessimistic; I really lost a lot.

Those early projects were indeed garbage, but those who still call crypto a scam are somewhat out of touch with the rhythm... The problem is not with the coin, but whether one can find real arbitrage opportunities.

To be honest, those who were pessimistic in the early days weren't wrong; there really are a lot of shitcoins everywhere.
