Is it possible that Crypto was already a casino even before the Pump happened? The only difference is that, in the past, this casino was controlled by VCs, insiders, and project teams with fancy whitepapers and multi-billion-dollar valuations. Pump didn’t create speculation; it just allowed ordinary people to join in. Not every Token has to solve real-world problems. Culture, attention, and community themselves have value. Of course, malicious behavior and exploitative mechanisms should be governed. But blaming all of Crypto’s problems on the Pump clearly overlooks bigger issues. The real problem isn’t that retail investors finally got a seat at the table—it’s that this game was never fair to begin with.
