Seeing mass companies crashing is definitely not creating a welcoming environment for new investments, and most newcomers are not used to seeing so much blood and surrender. Times are tough for self taught speculators and fragile projects, but we believe that the true will survive, and a lot of beautiful things are growing under the bear-market leaves for the next season.
Some big actors are falling, drowning a lot of people and projects with them. But on the other hand, new actors and big established companies are stepping into our ecosystem. 2023 will be wild, and we are more than ready.
