After 7 years writing about crypto, I'm stepping away.

To paraphrase @lex_node, we've lost our way. Crypto traded rebellion for regulation and got the worst bull market ever.

My farewell—and what comes next:

@IndiaTales7 That decision turned out great for Japan.

@JJcycles my feed is full of bull posts / bottom’s in. What is the algo feeding you?

[Mark Helfman @MarkHelfman]

@AdamBLiv @GordonBuckley3 This is not the kind of adoption that helps you or me. Good for Wall Street, big banks, and politicians, though. They get to capture crypto for their own benefit. Let’s hope some of that trickles down to us.

@i_am_jackis @PeterSchiff Overleveraged miners and treasury companies

@Fiskantes That value was wiped out once Wall Street and politicians arrived. It just took a while for prices to realize.

[Mark Helfman @MarkHelfman]

Get your coins off exchanges and take self-custody. Stop letting Wall Street and treasury companies play you for fools—keep your coins away from them. Put your money into protocols, not politicians. Otherwise, none of this matters.

@TheRealPlanC Can you run the same poll again on a big green candle day? See if the ratio changes. Sometimes the price expectations are simply a reaction to a moment—when the moment changes, so do the poll results. You know this, but others may not.

@TooLegitCrypto @lex_node Thanks, Sean! You were a big help in getting my name out there.

@CryptoKongX @lex_node You can reevaluate on the next rally…

[Mark Helfman @MarkHelfman]

@CryptoKongX @lex_node Thanks for following me for so long!

I have some BTC and select altcoins, from long ago. I sold almost all of my crypto earlier this year. Did you?

[Mark Helfman @MarkHelfman]

If you’ve ever read my work, subscribed to my newsletters, or argued with me in the comments—thank you.

This isn’t goodbye to crypto.
Just goodbye to the version of it we’re stuck with today.

[Mark Helfman @MarkHelfman]

To be clear, I’m not stepping back because I hate crypto. I still believe in what it can be once we get back our core principles.
