What I appreciate most is that MECCA isn’t trying to survive on hype alone. Instead, it’s building a full ecosystem that connects Play-to-Earn gaming, shopping, NFT-based webtoons, and a payment system — all under one token model on Solana. From a gaming angle, the Play-to-Earn concept looks more sustainable than many short-lived P2E projects that focus on fast rewards and collapse later. Solana’s low fees and fast transactions also make a noticeable difference when thinking about in-game rewards and frequent micro-transactions. I’m also interested in the NFT webtoon marketplace idea because it brings something new to the table and could attract users who aren’t typical crypto traders. That kind of crossover adoption is what most projects are missing. Of course, execution will be the real test, but MECCA’s roadmap looks realistic and long-term focused. I’m keeping it on my watchlist and curious to see how it develops. Would be interested to hear other opinions from this community. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I was drilling into a wall in 2018 in my house. My stud finder said I was in wood, but it went through to easily. I pushed further and hit the hot water pipe. It shot a 30 ft maximum water temp through the wall to the other side of my place. I addressed the water frantically. Months later, I was looking for my codes because I'd bought a new trezor. I couldn't find them and couldn't remember the code to get into the trezor I had. I looked everywhere. I eventually found them in my bookshelf that had been hit 30ft across by the water. Water damaged, faded away. all BTC and ETH purchased from 2016-2017, gone. (11btc+, and 80eth+). I was spooked from it all and didnt want to ever touch it again. In 2020, I slowly starting buying again. In 2021, had reaccumulated 1.6 btc from slow purchases. put all of it into SPELL. it ran up to 8BTC + worth. Then it came out that the treasury for SPELL was connected to QUADRIGACX collapse and potential founder death. It fucking cratered before I was even aware since I wasn't frequently checking. It fell all the way back to pretty much my initial, AND I HELD. SUNK COST FALLACY hit hard with LOSS AVERSION. (understand these). I took the 'last' BTC I had and wanted to put it somewhere 'secure'. I SHOULD have put it into USDC or USDT if I had the knowledge I have now. My cousins who had been in before me, and with the feeling of SCF and LA alive in me, had me highly suggestible to any insights or recommendations. They recommended I put I put it into a 'blue chip NFT'. so I bought a high rarity Doodle. :(. A few months later, Doodle pumped and I didn't sell. A few months after that, the Doodle founder came out saying 'Doodle was never meant to be an investment vehicle', CRATERED 80-90%. so from 1.64 reaccumulated BTC (+ 20 ETH that I had on the side making some trades), I went up to 8BTC, greed held, cratered to 0.4 BTC. ETH from 20> 46>4>2). So, journey indeed.

During the NFT craze my Aunt gave me a gift that was an NFT… printed on paper… and not actually an NFT at all. It was funny on two fronts as I had never asked for or wanted an NFT and also because she had no idea what an NFT was or how it worked. She thought it was better on paper too because it’s “immune to hacking.” I guess it’s the thought that counts😂

tldr; Two major crypto events, NFT Paris and RWA Paris 2026, were canceled due to a market downturn and concerns over safety following a series of violent attacks targeting crypto holders in France. Organizers cited financial challenges, but the rise in kidnappings and home invasions linked to crypto wealth has created a climate of fear, impacting public participation in such events. The cancellations highlight the intersection of market struggles and security risks in the crypto community. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The 2020/21 bullrun was definitely the peak of mainstream adoption for crypto. People were locked up with nowhere to go and Covid stimulus payments to spend, Elon was on SNL shilling DOGE, Crypto.com bought a stadium, Gamestop announced its own NFT marketplace. For the average person who had never taken an interest in Crypto before, all of a sudden it was everywhere, and most of the world started getting FOMO. Combine that with Reddit literally paying people in crypto to spend all day on this sub to learn more about it, and I feel like it's really no wonder at all why this sub was so much more active back then. After the crypto winter set in, only the bitcoin faithful hung around waiting for the next halving and confirmation of ETFS. Most casuals got burnt buying up all the dumb shit floating around at the time, lost patience, stopped getting paid to be on reddit, lost interest entirely and then never returned.

NFTs have an initial seller, the person who created the NFT or her in this case.

BABABOYE5000

I mean, kudos to you, it's definitely not a JPEG store like most of the NFT hype was focused around, and it seems you were able to utilise it quite well. It still does feel very crypto-esque where a wheel is reinvented. Giving out merch to supporters has been done for years, without explicit use of NFT (maybe in abstract sense). The fact that this was done trough an NFT blockchain just means that it can be done that way, not neccesarily that it's required or even the best aproach that saves you resources or time. > I’ve used my art to token link the work into multiple games. Just holding the art unlocks the game character or perks. This is different than buying cosmetics because the asset isn’t linked to the game. If the game ever shuts down you still keep the artwork, and the artwork can be in as many games as you get collaborations for. This does feel interesting, but personally, i've yet to see an actual high quality product utilise this. Sure, you as a player - love the fact that you buy something, which unlocks DLC in a game, and if that game shutdowns, you still have an NFT that can be used in a different game. But most of the devs are not interested in this, they want to sell to you as much as they can, and if you own a "red cowboy hat unusual finish", they'd rather make a new "crimsom cowboy hat with foil finish", so you buy new DLC. It's just a database, and you must depend on the developer for any integration of said database from game to game, and they're not obligated, and even financially incentivized not to allow assets to be reused in other games. In the end, this depends on developer attitude. GGG (grinding gear games), have 2 games, and cosmetics between them are almost all interchangable(so, again, this can be achieved by non-NFT tech), but they're an exception, not the rule. Another company like activision, definitely could interchange all the cosmetics, but they're financially incentivized to do the polar opposite. > Ultimately people buy art that they enjoy from me. I can see every person who owns my art at a global scale at any time and that to me has been huge. This is a fine point, there's similar analytics tools that can do similar job. Of course, the non-fungibility aspect is important as well, so you can track any trades and changes of ownership, if any occurs, and you're interested in this. So i will admit, at least following the ownership/working as analytics tool is promising.

BABABOYE5000

Yeh, or you can just get a patreon subscription for your favourite artist if you want to support them. All in all, the utility of "award the artist with funds", has been done before, and NFT does nothing revolutionary here. > There’s cool tech that you can attach to the art and in my five years doing it I’ve done some pretty interesting things that would not be possible without the tech. Like what? I mean - five years, surely you could give a credible example.

jawni

I mean, idk about ETH L1, but Solana doesn't have that issue because of high throughput and local fee markets. Mad Lads was one of the most hyped NFT mints and it minted out 6k in a matter of seconds while Helium was also in the process of migrating it's token to Solana. And that was back in the Spring of 2023.

aliassuck

If the guy and another guy decides that that NFT is currency, they can make it work.

BABABOYE5000

NFTS have been a complete and utter disaster. Best use case that actually hit the markets was a JPEG store, that's only built on hype/speculation attempts/straight up ponzi. > The art can be displayed, traded, used in games or as tickets, or even exist without any money involved. And this entire process can be done without the NFT part? Somehow noone is able to give a concrete real-life viable situation where the fact that it's non-fungible somehow matters. Something like concert tickets, while being fungible, can be easily verified at the game. Once a ticket is scanned, a duplicate code is rejected. You don't need a blockchain to achieve this.

Also: That NFT on the mETH blockchain says I own this house. No, that NFT on the SaLOnA blockchain says that *I* own this house. (Though, little hint: Bitcoin and PoW already solved that problem. Chain with most work wins.)

prguitarman

"Do you want to buy a ticket for Taylor Swift's new tour? Look, it's on of the thousand officially minted by the official Canterbury Music Hall wallet!" You just explained how tickets are created and sold already lol Better viewpoint is being able to buy it at fair market value with proceeds going direct to the artist instead of Ticketmaster. And yes that ticket can be the one that gets scanned at the door over just as easily as a QR code with services like Tokenproof. Artists like Avenged Sevenfold have done this already and some even have perks like free merch or meet and greet access and it's seamless to verify each one. "What do you mean this is your house? Look I got the NFT! What do you mean you lost your wallet to a keylogger last month but you definitely still own this house?" Realistically in this scenario, the NFT itself can be receipt of payment, not the actual deed of ownership. Works about the same as paying an agency without all the paperwork, just a straight transaction but now it's visible to everybody on-chain, and can even provide some nice artwork in the process. "Sorry man, know nothing about that contract. Definitely not my wallet though, do you see my name on it?" When you approve the contract it creates a DIGITAL SIGNATURE designated to your account that can be verified by all parties. It could be stolen/moved around or you can lie all you want but people WILL search the transaction history and find that it indeed was signed by you at one point. Doesn't matter where it ends up, the data is inscribed forever the moment it's signed and the history is viewable by anybody around the world. Everything you're describing can be done with NFTs already. I do agree the tech is clunky and not totlaly user-friendly yet, but it has evolved tremendously already in the past few years and will only get more mainstream over time.

midachavi

Doesn't make sense is maybe too much. This is not new technology per se, but very loosely adopted one. Previous NFT craze didn't do much good and honestly it was despiseful. Notion that the "old ways" work better can be seen throughout history until they don't. It has potential and lack of adoption isn't the means to dismissal. Since it is a database, that is immutable, decentralized and most secure in the world, enabling smart contracts, uncensorable, verifiable and public, it lends itself to plethora of uses, we just need to find out how. Not to mention it is very cheap and you don't need to take care of it nor the infrastructure. Sadly we chose this technology to trade overpriced ugly monkeys and scam and rugpull people.

Oh yes indeedy! I for one am cashing in my old beanie babies to buy bitcoin. Gonna get rich this time. Interestingly here are about the same number of beanie babies as there are bitcoins. They aren't making more. And every single one is unique so if you were to NFT an image of these you could probably transfer ownership electronically and even use fractional ownership. So I'm cashing in this old money for the new money. Same as the old boss. Then I'll get my guitar and play. Wint get fooled again

Numerous_Wonders81

Liquidity mining / yield incentives that temporarily inflated TVL and volume, then dropped off once rewards were reduced. NFT and meme coin bursts where activity spiked around launches, airdrops, or fee subsidies rather than sustained usage. Validator economics where participation and hardware requirements have concentrated stake among a relatively small set of operators, which is fine for performance but still relevant when people talk about “organic decentralization.” Heavy VC / ecosystem grants seeding apps that drove short-term engagement but didn’t always translate into durable user bases.

Hi there we are talking about crypto assets these are not currencies even though the stable coin is pretty similar to a currency. I setup some golden rules and here they a are: Rule 1: stay away from all meme coins or NFT like that could cause serious damage (pull rug etc…) Rule 2: target the top of the leaderboard when it comes to TVL and market activity, check out as well how many coins are in circulation ( max supply reached or almost reached means scarcity which may boost price) Rule 3: diversify, like in a portfolio maybe selection of 10 to 20 is a fair approach and put a regular amount periodically (few bucks a months seems good) Rule 4: cryptos are crazy volatile and should represent a minor part of your global portfolio (4 percent to 10 for the risk tolerant serious investor)

I’m not here to shill or hype — just sharing an honest review from someone who values *actual utility* over empty promises. What stands out immediately is that MECCA isn’t focused on a single feature. Instead, it’s building a connected ecosystem that includes Play-to-Earn gaming, shopping, NFT-based webtoons, and a payment system — all powered by one token on Solana. That matters, because too many projects launch one dApp and call it an ecosystem. MECCA’s approach feels more thought-out and long-term. From a gaming perspective, the P2E concept looks designed around sustainable rewards rather than short-term farming. Pair that with Solana’s fast transactions and low fees, and the user experience already feels more practical than many Ethereum-based games I’ve tried. I also like the NFT webtoon angle. It’s not something you see often in crypto, and it could bring in users who aren’t even “crypto people” yet — which is where real adoption comes from. Of course, execution will decide everything, but the roadmap is clear and realistic. I’m personally keeping MECCA on my watchlist and curious to see how the ecosystem develops.

BoringPrinciple2542

Price action is only tangentially related to tech. UberEats/Grubhub/Doordash for food deliveries, Uber/Lyft in transportation, or Bird/Lime/Bolt for scooters & e-bikes are a few recent examples of this type of competition that got a lot of attention. Each was (maybe still are) burning through investor funding and operating at a loss with the goal of achieving market dominance with a plan to increase fees once they controlled the market. This is what I think AVAX is doing. They make changes like Etna & Octane which appeal to users of the tech over investors with the goal of becoming a market leader. Pushing price would likely lead to reduced competitiveness when similar blockchains with more brand recognition are available. So price needs to be thought of in the classic sense of supply & demand. AVAX has extremely bad social media attention which likely helps suppress the price while actual gains in marketcap are hidden by the increasing supply in circulation. On Jan 1st 2022 the circulating supply was 245mil & price per token was $69.99 ($17.1B) Today the circulating supply is 429.6mil and price is currently $12.55 ($5.4B) So if we adjusted the price at that time with the circulating supply today it would be about $39.92. That’s 3x from here but we are also comparing two very interesting periods… in early 2022, the NFT craze was making ETH practically useless ($250 gas fee to create a StrongBlock node lol) and so people who had made bank in BTC/ETH were rolling assets into AVAX/MATIC/etc looking to continue the gravy train. Compare to today where most of the crypto market is down and it’s just a very different picture. Much of this is simply due to inflation plus comparing an unrealistically high peak to a fairly shitty period. AVAX trading in the $20-30 range today is essentially equal to that $70 point four years ago while achieving it under much worse market conditions. This trend is likely to continue for awhile until either the recurring burn outpaces inflation, we hit the 720mil cap, or sudden changes in sentiment create an increase in demand for AVAX. In the meantime though there is a lot of opportunity to be had in using the relatively flat price action to trade based on say 1-2% fluctuations without too much concern about losing out on upside growth.

Just what the world needs right now: another crypto token when the market is tanking. Why not a new NFT while we're at it?

Yeah, I remember they used to be pretty pricey. Now you can get one for under $1. So cheap for a well-known NFT collection.

Post is by: tornavec and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pyfm68/the_dumbest_rollback_in_crypto_history/ Everyone knows about the hack of the Flow network. Hackers stole approximately $3.9 million, and the majority of these funds have since been transferred via cross-chain bridges to other blockchains. The development team then suddenly decided to rollback the network to the point where the attack began. This came as a surprise to everyone in the ecosystem. Moreover, the rollback will have no effect on the hackers, as the funds have already been moved. However, it will cause problems for honest users, liquidity providers and exchanges. This stupidity will only exacerbate the FLOW token rate, which lost 40% of its value following the hack. The asset was supported by the popularity of blockchain technology within the gaming industry and the NFT segment, as well as by the demand for tokens issued by well-known brands. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

NFT FOMO is a classic — same pattern, different wrapper. New collection, new narrative, same late entry reflex. The asset changes, the behavior doesn’t.

I went to buy a schitzo poster & looked around the NFT market. It didn't actually survive.

tldr; By 2025, the NFT market has drastically declined, forcing marketplaces like OpenSea and Magic Eden to adapt. OpenSea introduced cross-chain token trading via its decentralized exchange, OS2, and expanded its offerings to include various digital assets. Magic Eden diversified into token trading and launched new products like Packs and Dicey, focusing on 'crypto entertainment.' These adaptations aim to stabilize engagement and revenue, positioning the platforms as cultural liquidity hubs in a maturing digital asset ecosystem. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Who is saying that? Im saying crypto is a scam and people got scammed. Unfortunately, at least in the US, we elected a person who literally pulled multiple crypto and NFT scams so dont expect anything to be done about it. The president of the us pardons people that commit fraud, not go after them.

It was easier in 2017-2019 IMO because the trade was less crowded and there were so few true believers, it just felt like quietly holding a lottery ticket. When conversations did come up with people who didn’t trash it, they were usually intelligent and even humble. Not so much “btc is inevitable” type talk. There were crypto bros but i don’t think they got noticeably bad until the NFT and meme crazes in 2021.

PirateSKB

Dang, and I thought my NFT jpegs were finally dead

uncapchad

My dad went all in on Fartcoin and all I got was this lousy NFT (picture of a box of 37 dolls/pencils).

zepoid

The biggest problem with the NFT craze was that the term was immediately made synonymous with "a jpg I could get anywhere on the internet". Until that mental connection is broken, no one will see real-world value they could be used for.

neoKushan

NFT's probably had the biggest opportunity to get consumers onboard with crypto, a way of owning and managing digital assets that didn't rely on a platform provider. Shame it was immediately jumped on by scammers and stupid pictures of monkeys, alongside current platform providers trying to make "their" NFT platform the de-facto standard. Greed killed that one outright. Now all our digital assets remain in the hands of the platform providers who can just decide to remove them with zero recourse for yourself. Thanks, scammers.

uncapchad

hahah yeah sorry should have put all the sizes in the 4" was the biggest at the time, then they made an even bigger one which got sold as an NFT which will allow the “owner” one annual supervised visit to touch the cube at Midwest Tungsten Service’s Illinois headquarters.

SecureWriting8589

Hell, **NFT**s are even cheaper. By this calculation, they're a veritable bargain!

paperlevel

I see Bitcoin more like a FAANG stock than an NFT, it has moat and brand, and it scales exponentially. It's not really hackable as far as the blockchain goes. Personal accounts or exchanges can be hacked, but that's a risk outside of Bitcoin specifically.

Lump-of-baryons

I have to admit I fell into the NFT space fo a bit there in 2021/2022, crypto twitter, etc. Glad I woke tf up, looking back that whole space was obscene. I’d been dabbling in crypto since like 2017, was advocating for it and nah turned me off completely to pretty much the whole thing (I do still buy and hold BTC and ETH tho).

JackyGekko

I would not bet on Solana for the long-term honestly. During this cycle it reached new ATHs because of the memecoins frenzy, reaching the pico top with $TRUMP, but beside that it hasn't a real utility as a chain, unless it will focus on the payments market again. Plus, the chart vs BTC is quite clear to me, and it looks like ETH/BTC after the NFT boom. The main risk here is that $SOL could underperform $BTC, but also all the other crypto assets in the next cycle. If you look for a long-term investment, I suggest to wait for a drop vs $BTC to the lower bound of the range. https://preview.redd.it/dmsleuhlwj8g1.png?width=1503&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf4724a83aa856099db8fcad4569017722c52c60

NFT’s are amazing and we haven’t see. .001% of the true value.

TheQuietOutsider

do i think eth is perfect? far from it. that being said im not sure how long its been since you've interacted with the network but most transactions are pretty cheap. most ive seen recently is like $4.50 and that was for interacting with a more complex smart contract. recently base fees were as low as 0.02 gwei. its not 2021 NFT mania gas wars days, making the network unusable anymore. if $4.50 is still too much (and I get it, truly) theres strong L2s like Base, Arbitrum, Optimism & zkSync.

KIR_Finance

Nice write up. I can tell you’ve been doing this a while and I agree with your assessment. A couple case studies: Jasmy - Real company. Real patents. Real technology. ERC20 token that to date (up until the creation of Janction) has had no utility. So now it gets utility but how do you tie the crypto coin to the business results of the company? It isn’t a stock. It doesn’t represent ownership. It has no tie to business results. This is where the community struggles with valuation of the asset. Polkadot - Has always had a marketing/marketshare/barrier to entry problem that it had tried via community governance to overcome and (at least from an outsiders view) has had a very hard time achieving meaningful change especially when large holders dominate governance. Ethereum - Even in the case of ETH you often see quotes from Vitalik disagreeing with the Ethereum foundation, which makes me question if the democracy is the best thing for ETH vs the governance of the philosopher king (Vitalik). Maybe the solution is either with coupling a company issued NFT or simply having the utility be the gas token which is not traded whereas the company NFT is. So think a derivative of ownership, really no different than a stock. Top 10 make the board. Top 100 have voting rights. That structure would likely make more sense by attracting investors to ownership. Company results would be more reflective in token values. Perhaps alts start deviating from BTC?

account009988

Bro talking about alts being dead while having a NFT scam as a profile picture is ironic

longReshape40

I was totally expecting for this to happen when I saw them introduce the digital collectibles. Their large user base and reach would have made such a market potentially lucrative, especially since it was around the time of the NFT hype.

liquid_at

the problem with "hodl" and "buy the dip" is that they used to go into effect AFTER you researched the asset and determined that it was a good project. It's never been intended as a replacement. Some people pretend that even the biggest trash in existence will eventually make them rich if they just hold long enough... but it won't. MusksShinyRocketSquritingCum-Token will not become the new global currency. BigColorfulCasinoToken will not send you to the moon. cartoon animal with NFT-Features is not going to be the next big thing. Stop it.

Lots of fun things, more in the works. We have coin flip and RPS games. Beta testing a sports betting app which will be tied to NFT’s we are launching. Working to make this Chad universe fun and long term sustainable. We are not building this to just see it crash.

tldr; Reddit will shut down its in-app digital wallet, Reddit Vault, on January 1, 2026, marking the end of its NFT services. Users must export their digital collectibles to third-party wallets before the closure. This move follows the shutdown of Reddit's Avatar Shop in November 2025 and reflects the platform's shift away from Web3 initiatives. The NFT market has seen a significant decline, with a 96% drop in value for many collections since their peak, further exacerbated by Reddit's exit from the space. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

DCA’d XRP, ADA & BTC. Traded for some meme coins & NFT’s. Total degen behavior. Lost some, got rugged and hit a couple big winners. But the smart move was selling.

CRPTM_ONE

This is the lesson most people only learn once. The IRS does not care that everything stayed on Ethereum. On-chain activity is taxable activity. Swaps, LP deposits and withdrawals, NFT mints, and bridges all matter. If value changed hands, it is reportable. Exchanges and third parties report volume and sales proceeds, not your intent. If you cannot prove cost basis or identify self-transfers, every swap is treated as profit by default. That is why this becomes painful later. Not because crypto is unusually complex, but because context disappears over time. Gas fees, churn, and failed transactions only exist if you document them. If they are missing, they cannot be used to explain what really happened. The solution is unglamorous but effective: use fewer wallets and chains, import all activity into a crypto tax tool early, review your data quarterly instead of years later, and leave notes on anything unusual while you still remember.

I heard this word NFT after a while 

MariachiArchery

Do I understand you correctly that you have basically zero information about this purchase? You don't know the game, you don't know the network, you don't have an address, you don't have a backup... all you have is that you know you made the purchase using your email address, correct? Did you back anything up? Do you even know where the NFT was stored? Yeah... I have no idea how to help you. When was the last time you cleared your browser history? You might be able to search that if you haven't cleared it and possibly get some hints.

Zaskoda

Yeah. It looks like a dying meme coin, doesn't it? That's my point. This is a very active project. The governance body is active and engaged. Governance is run on chain. The development community is active and growing pretty rapidly. None of those things are happening with any meme coins. I'll be honest with you. I don't think most cryptocurrency investors understand what they're investing in. Not really. The art of reading charts is a very advanced way of trying to figure out what everyone else thinks of a thing. And hey, it sorta works. People make money. They contribute absolutely nothing to society, but it's still a profitable practice. Just like trading stocks or whatever. All that is different from understanding a project. A trader is following "mind share" which is just hype. The hype is crowd think as users wander together from platform to platform and from app to app. Where ever the crowd wanders is what appears to be the market winner. Users have no reason to go to a platform that has no apps they don't want to use. Also, users are not very inspired to change platforms if the apps on the new platform offer nothing new or better than the apps they're using now. But they love it when a new app lets them do something they haven't been able to do before. There's not a whole heckuvalotta new things people will be able to do with EVM inspired networks. Building the next new thing will require a platform that does more than the Ethereum or Solana ecosystems can do today. A next generation platform. And if that platform were to arrive right now, this very moment... users still won't care, because there are no apps for that platform. But devs care. They see a new set of tools and they start dreaming of what new kinds of apps can now be built. This is where we are with Polkadot right now. The development community is seeing steady, sustained, rising growth. Polkadot leap-frogged Ethereum. What Ethereum is trying to build with the layer 2s, Polkadot already has. They accomplished this with "Polkadot 1.0". But it wasn't very accessible. It was confusing and overwhelming. Needlessly complex. And then they kept going. Now we're in the final stages of a "Polkadot 2.0" and things are slick. Wanna spin up your own parachain? Just mix and match a set of pallets and you can define exactly how your parachain works. Want native NFT support? Use that pallet. Want your transaction fees to be in your own native currency instead of DOT? Or maybe both? There are pallets for that. And your parachain is automagically bridged with the rest of the network - through decentralized bridges. Contracts can talk to each other across chains. And TPS? The Kasama network recently performed a benchmark that let Solana in the rear view mirror. But that's not even "the thing." Other networks offer multichain ecosystems. I think Polkadot's is the best, but it's not entirely novel. JAM appears to be novel. Gavin has abstracted parts of Polkadot to build a platform upon which arbitrary code can run, including a blockchain. He ran Doom on JAM writing each new frame of the screen to the blockchain and then reading those frames from a client. Despite how impressive this truly is, the community was quick to point out that Cardano ran Doom on Hydra. That's not really the same thing, but the investor community doesn't understand that. So Charles posted a snarky bit about "we did Doom, next time to do Quake"... and that's what Gavin did. He ran Quake on JAM. Not a port of Quake. The original DOS binary. Running on a decentralized computer that can contain a multitude of blockchains within it. This hasn't existed until now. It's new. I have no idea what people are going to build on this. I'm still trying to understand how it works. But I can see clearly that it's a new paradigm and it's going to yield a new generation of apps. It won't be fast. But it's inevitable.

Most people who buy BTC treat it as a speculative investment -- or an asset. I am not disagreeing there. But by technical merits it is a currency. It has a native unit of account, a settlement network, finality, etc... People do use BTC to pay for things as well. None of this should be controversial. The OP was talking about cryptocurrencies in general, and obviously something like Ethereum has more clear uses as a currency. For example, to send stable coins somewhere, you need to spend some ETH. To do a decentralized finance transaction, you need to pay ETH. To buy an NFT, you need to pay ETH. To participate in DAO governance for something on-chain, you are probably also spending ETH.

tldr; Bitcoin Cash (BCH) surged nearly 40% in 2025, outperforming major Layer-1 blockchains due to improved supply dynamics, reduced sell pressure, and increased investor demand. The network also recorded its highest average transaction value of $1.8M, linked to a $500M placement by MF International. The BCH ecosystem is expanding with initiatives like the BCH-1 Hackcelerator, Cashinals NFT tools, and early settlement options for BCH Bull contracts. The Bitcoin Cash community continues to grow, with efforts to highlight liquidity risks and promote on-chain activity. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

People are definitely paying that, you can just look at Opensea and you’ll see sales everyday still. Same goes for crypto punks with a 96k floor and sales everyday. I’m an NFT broker and have been doing this full time for 4 years and can make a good living out of it, the market is still very alive.
