[1confirmation Founder: Only BTC and ETH Possess Credible Neutrality; The Era of Easy Money in the Crypto Market is Over] According to Mars Finance, Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, stated in an article on the X platform that the current total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is $3.1 trillion (down 14% in the past year), but in 2009, this number was zero. For the crypto industry, 2025 signifies the end of the era of easy money: venture capital pump-and-dump schemes, Meme Coin, and DAT have all failed. However, last year, for the first time in cryptocurrency history, products that do not rely on token speculation outperformed other products, such as Polymarket and stablecoins. In the future, to obtain excess returns, it is necessary to develop and use such products. Three things remain constant in the crypto industry: 1. The true nature of fraudsters must be recognized; 2. The macro trend of declining trust in institutions and the increasing importance of the internet is real, and credible neutral currencies offer worthwhile investment opportunities; 3. Only two cryptocurrencies possess credible neutrality: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
