Do you remember the wild growth era of the crypto world? Countless myths of getting rich overnight unfolded, and batches of big shots shined brightly in the market. They were all my guides into this circle.

Now time flies, and the market landscape has long been rewritten. Those former top figures have either faded from view, changed roles, or continued to fluctuate with the waves. To be honest, many of the current market giants hadn't even cracked the top ten back then.

$BTC, $ETH, $BNB these cryptocurrencies have witnessed the rotation of the market and the rise and fall of countless individuals. I wonder if you still pay attention to those old faces now? The crypto market is like this—rapid iteration, replacing the old with the new. Where are those former guides now?

BTC1,14%

ETH0,23%

BNB0,85%

I've long been indifferent; most of those former big shots have already liquidated their holdings and run away.

Haha, I had a feeling about this. The circle is like this—today's myth becomes tomorrow's joke.

Haha, big brothers are all hiding now, afraid of being hit with nostalgia.

The early investors have all moved on to NFT to harvest the leeks now, haha.

Really, many of the big names I heard back then have now disappeared without a trace, it's a bit nostalgic. How many times have I been cut before I finally saw through it? The personnel turnover is so fast. If I had known that following the trend wasn't the smartest move, who would still remember who was hyped up two years ago? The world changes so much; most of the once-mythical figures were just bubbles. The market is ruthless; today's big players might fall tomorrow. It's very normal.

The big shots from before are rarely seen now. Really, the industry is too brutal.

ngl the "old guard" mostly just got caught holding bags when the music stopped... nothing mystical about it, just weak hands got flushed out

Old investors have all left, new investors are coming again, this is the fate of the crypto world. What happened to the big shots of the past? Who still cares? Those who made money have already cashed out, those who didn't are still dreaming. History always repeats itself, only the participants have changed. Watching BTC rise and fall is like watching one character after another take their final bow. Those former trailblazers are probably just ordinary people now. The market is like that; today's kings might be worthless tokens tomorrow. How are those who entered early doing now? Curious. The new generation of big players has already risen, who are you still reminiscing about?
