Blockchain and cryptocurrency didn't follow trends—they created them. While traditional finance took decades to innovate incrementally, crypto built decentralized alternatives from scratch. Smart contracts, DeFi protocols, layer-2 solutions, NFT ecosystems—the space moved fast and broke things, yes, but it moved first. That's not just advantage; that's a fundamental difference in how innovation happens here.

I have to say, I must complain about this point. Traditional finance is really slow to the point of despair... --- The dfi protocols are indeed powerful, but don't hype them too much. There are countless projects that have gone to zero. --- Creating trends sounds pretty cool, but the ecosystem isn't that stable yet. --- Layer 2 solutions are hot, but sometimes gas fees still depend on luck. --- That's true, but the hype around NFTs has cooled down already. Why are we still talking about ecosystems? --- Crypto's speed definitely beats the ten streets of traditional finance, I admit that. --- Decentralization sounds high-end, but in practice, it's a nightmare to use. Not everyone can accept it. --- I've heard this kind of rhetoric so much that my ears are calloused. Did you really make money? --- Innovation is indeed fast, but the problem is that the risks are also quick...

Hmm... The phrase "creating a trend" sounds pretty grand, but on-chain data doesn't lie. It all depends on how much arbitrage opportunity remains after the game-theoretic equilibrium.

The traditional financial system should have been eliminated long ago; crypto is the true future.
