Approximately every decade, the financial system undergoes a profound transformation. From the era when phone orders were necessary, to the rise of electronic trading platforms, and now to cryptocurrencies and blockchain breaking traditional boundaries— the driving force behind all of this has always been the same: faster transaction efficiency and lower entry costs.
By observing the participants in this wave of the crypto market, you'll find that those projects seizing the opportunity are essentially doing the same thing—removing barriers in traditional finance. From innovations in trading methods to breakthroughs in asset liquidity, and from retail investors to institutional acceptance, every detail points in the same direction: the deepening of financial democratization.
This is not just technological progress; it is a redefinition of the financial ecosystem.

They say a decade is a cycle, and this one is truly remarkable. The efficiency of on-chain transactions now really surpasses traditional finance.
Financial democratization sounds great, but in reality? Retail investors still end up getting chopped up like chives.
But what's truly spectacular is liquidity; it has indeed opened the door to a new world.

Ten years to change? According to the database, this cycle isn't over yet, so don't rush to make history.
Talking about pie-in-the-sky plans is smooth, but when it comes to the entry costs... the gas fees in the wallet, I just want to say a few words.

This wave is truly different; I believe in the logic of a ten-year cycle.
Barriers are getting thinner, and retail investors can also play with institutional stuff.
It's called democratization in a nice way, but actually anyone can lose money.
This wave can indeed change something, but how many projects will survive to the next ten years?

Sounds good, but many missed out and still got cut anyway.

Financial democratization sounds great, but retail investors are still the little guys.
Basically, it's just a different disguise to scam money.
A decade of transformation? What about the coins I bought ten years ago, haha.
Breaking down barriers? First, unlock the project team's lock-up.
I've heard this rhetoric too many times; only a few have truly made money.
