On the spectrum of cryptocurrency, two poles emerge: At one end stand the cypherpunks and tech purists, driven by their original vision of decentralization and technological revolution. At the opposite end lurk the gamblers in Las Vegas, consumed by greed and envy, throwing fortunes at their next bet.

While the idealists persevere through bear markets, steadfastly building towards their vision, the speculators chase meme coins and quick profits during bull runs. Like a pendulum in perpetual motion, the crypto market swings between these extremes - from one pole to the other, in an endless cycle of bull and bear markets.
