How to Make Crypto Safer for Everyone
The Big Dream
Crypto started with a bold vision: money without middlemen. Bitcoin launched in 2009, and blockchain technology promised to revolutionize industries from healthcare to education. Tokens became a powerful tool for startups, enabling them to raise funds, build communities, and even sell shares.
The Downfall
But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare. Scams, rug pulls, and shady projects eroded trust. By early 2025, over $6 billion vanished due to rug pulls—far more than the previous year.
The Root of the Problem
The issue isn't just bad actors. Even well-intentioned projects can fail. The 2022 crypto credit crisis wasn't fraud—it was poor oversight. A few unaccountable insiders controlled key systems, revealing that what looked like decentralized finance was often just old-school banking in a Web3 disguise.
The Challenges of Building in Crypto
- Legal hurdles are everywhere.
- Compliance can be expensive.
- The SEC watches closely, and one wrong move could lead to lawsuits.
- Many projects dodge these issues by launching memecoins or setting up expensive offshore structures, making it hard for small innovators to compete.
