1011 Anniversary It has driven countless people out of the crypto space. From then on, being a crypto veteran/OG, being very rich, and retiring or switching careers—these became an impossible triangle. If someone is both a crypto veteran and has retired, they can’t possibly be extremely wealthy. They only participated in part of the journey. Many others who went through 94 and 1011 are long gone. If someone calls themselves a crypto veteran but hasn’t retired, they’re broke. No matter how much they talk, they’re just a foolish old man. Their wealth can’t boost your wealth. In short: if they don’t have enough money to make you rich, why listen to their nonsense about experience? Extremely wealthy crypto veterans find it nearly impossible to retire. Once you reach that level, stepping away is hard— people are always watching, pulling you back. Those who are wealthy and have retired won’t call themselves “crypto veterans” or “OGs.” They’ve already shined brightly in U.S. stocks, AI, or other fields—and won’t even look back. This new crypto impossible triangle has directly caused a complete exodus of crypto talent— and true innovation is now nearly impossible.
