Culture's dead because everyone sells out eventually.

Seen it a thousand times in crypto. Projects start with bold visions, community-first promises, real conviction.

Then the bags get heavy. VCs come knocking. Suddenly it's all partnerships, corporate speak, and exit liquidity for early insiders.

The OGs who built the narrative? Gone. Cashed out. Moved to the next thing.

What's left is hollow marketing and retail holding bags.

This cycle, watch who stays when things get bloody. That's where the real signal is.
