WHY HAS THIS CRYPTO CYCLE BEEN SO HARD?

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This crypto cycle has been especially difficult due to factors like PTSD from past market crashes, regulatory crackdowns, a lack of major innovation, and a shift towards short-term trading and financial nihilism. With BTC attracting new institutional buyers while altcoins struggle, success now requires a more strategic approach, whether through fundamentals-driven investments, active trading, or niche plays like airdrop farming.
