Rekt Drinks Momentum Grows + Kaito Faces Copycats and Critics

Today's show examined why the current crypto market downturn feels more painful than similar pullbacks in 2021. The hosts explored how previous cycles offered exciting distractions like NFT collecting, Top Shot packs, and digital horse racing that kept the community engaged despite price volatility. By contrast, today's hyper-financialized focus on tokens without utility has created a more fragile sentiment environment. Additional segments covered effective token strategy, the importance of retail marketing fundamentals in Web3, and Ethereum's price stagnation compared to Bitcoin's growth.
