Crypto has undergone enormous development. When I bought my first Ethereum in 2015, I didn’t think much about it. I forgot about it… until 2017, when the ICO craze exploded. Suddenly, everyone promised to change the world with a token. Projects sprouted like mushrooms. Prices soared. And then most projects disappeared just as quickly.
Those who knew what they were doing could make good money. But most people learned the hard way that hype is not value.
Yet something real was built beneath all that noise #
The winners weren’t the loudest shouters, but those solving real problems. Ethereum quietly became the backbone of decentralized applications. Aave showed that lending is possible without banks. Chainlink connected smart contracts to the real world. VeChain gave companies transparency they never had before.
These weren’t castles in the air. This became infrastructure #
Of course, we’ve also seen the worst sides of crypto. Celsius, FTX… the trust that disappeared was enormous. People lost their savings. Founders ended up behind bars. Add influencer scams and memecoin pumps, and it’s logical that many investors turned their backs.
But a different wind is blowing again: a positive one #
Regulation is finally taking shape, not to block innovation, but to protect users. Europe has introduced MiCA. The US is working on rules for digital assets and custody. Major banks are entering Web3 through tokenization. Institutions are no longer just watching critically—they’re participating.
Yes, there are still thousands of useless tokens. But identifying the projects that matter is easier than ever.
And the macro environment? It’s also moving along #
The US Federal Reserve has stopped QT; no more money is being pulled from the market. That alone gives Bitcoin strength. Governments continue to borrow and print, keeping the money supply growing. Altcoins, on the other hand, need real liquidity, interest rate cuts, stimulus, QE before they can make another big jump. Bitcoin will likely lead first, the rest will follow later.
That’s why strategy today is more important than ever #
At Diamond Pigs, we believe in long-term strategies. We focus on strong fundamentals, real adoption, and careful risk management—both during peaks and troughs. No hype. No ‘get rich quick’. But smart exposure to a technology that’s changing the world.
That’s why we help people manage their crypto safely with smart, technology-driven investment strategies that are executed automatically through their own exchange wallets.
Despite challenging market conditions and negative market sentiment, our leading active strategy, the Top 3 (BTC, ETH, SOL) Protect Strategy, has achieved a 22 percent return in the past six months, compared to a 1 percent decline in Bitcoin.
This month, the strategy stands at +3 percent, while Bitcoin is at +2 percent.
Crypto is still at the beginning, but it’s no longer chaos. It’s rapidly developing into a mature financial system. And I genuinely believe—perhaps for the first time—that this is a market in which people can invest with confidence.
