Crypto has a strange way of distorting time. A few years in this space can feel like a full decade of experience, even though the entire industry is only about 17 years old.
Once you’ve lived through a couple of cycles, you start to understand why people call others “veterans” so quickly here. Market phases, narratives, and sentiment shifts happen so fast that experience compounds differently compared to traditional markets.
That’s also why something surviving 8 years in crypto actually means a lot. Longevity here isn’t common—it usually signals resilience through multiple bull and bear cycles.
At some point you stop measuring time in years and start measuring it in cycles.
Even casually watching market movements on BingX lately reinforces how fast things evolve in this space. What felt “new” a year ago can already feel like history in crypto terms.
