Greedy Teams Are Destroying Crypto From Inside (And Nobody Talks About It)
Honestly speaking, sometimes crypto doesn’t scare me, people behind the projects do. Not governments, not banks, not regulations. It’s the teams. The same teams that smile on AMAs, promise future, talk about “long term vision”, but behind the curtain they are already selling everything.
This thing hurts, because many of us trusted these projects with our hard earned money. Some people sold cars, some used savings, others borrowed. And what did they get? Empty bags. Dead tokens. Silence from the team.
Just imagine for a moment… what if Satoshi Nakamoto was greedy. What if he dumped his 1 million Bitcoins in early days? Bitcoin would be dead long time ago. No institutions, no adoption, no trust. Bitcoin exists today because its creator chose integrity over money. But today? Many teams choose money first, community last. I remember researching some projects late nights, reading whitepapers, joining Telegram, listening to team voices. Everything looked real. Everything looked solid. Then suddenly chart start bleeding, volume looks fake, and wallets linked to team are selling nonstop. That feeling… it’s painful. You feel cheated, you feel stupid, and you lose trust not only in that project but in crypto itself.
Look at BitConnect. People laughed after it died, but families lost life savings. Look at OneCoin, pure lies from start, and millions believed because they trusted humans behind it. Terra Luna destroyed wealth in one night, while insiders walked away. Squid Game token showed us how cruel this space can be, rug pull in minutes, no mercy. What makes me angry is not only loss of money, but loss of faith. Every time a team betrays their community, crypto industry becomes weaker. New investors get scared. Old investors stop trusting altcoins. Slowly people say, “I’ll just buy Bitcoin, at least nobody can rug me there.” And honestly, can you blame them? Teams must understand something very simple: reputation is everything. Money can be made many times, but once your name is dirty, it’s over. Crypto never forgets. Wallets don’t lie. Selfishness is the silent killer of crypto industry. Fake volume, fake partnerships, fake hype. While team wallets quietly sell every pump. This is not innovation, this is betrayal. Satoshi Nakamoto showed us a different path. He built something for the world, not for himself. He walked away instead of cashing out. Until today, those coins are untouched. That decision alone protected crypto more than any regulation ever could. If teams don’t change, crypto won’t be killed by governments. It will be killed by greed from inside.

Crypto Investors Quietly Leaving YouTube, Choosing Binance Square for Real-Time Crypto Truth
Something strange is happening in the crypto space, and if you are a YouTube crypto creator you already feel it. Views are down bad. Not small down, like really down, levels we last saw back in early 2021. Many people still think it’s algorithm issues or shadow banning, but honestly that’s not the full story.
More and more crypto investors are deciding to stop wasting time on YouTube and start focusing on platforms like Binance Square, where information is fast, raw and straight to the point. On Square, news is happening in real time. No long intros, no clickbait thumbnails, no “watch till the end” promises that lead to nothing. Accoording To CryptoPotato: YouTube crypto channels are suffering because the audience has changed. People are tired. Since 2021, too many creators pushed low quality content, fake hype, ponzi altcoins, and “100x gems” that ended up rekt. Retail investors got burned again and again. Now when they see a YouTube title screaming “THIS WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING”, they just scroll past.
Data already shows it clearly. According to analyst Benjamin Cowen, the 30-day moving average views across many big crypto YouTube channels has fallen to January 2021 levels. This is not one channel, not one niche. It’s almost everyone. And it didn’t just start yesterday. The decline has been ongoing since the post-2021 peak. Some creators are openly admitting it. Tom Crown said engagement dropped across all social platforms since around October 2025, and the mood feels like a deep bear market. Jesus Martinez also said even though his channel kept growing since 2022, none of his videos could touch the numbers he had in 2021. That tells you something is broken. Another big reason YouTube is losing crypto viewers is speed. Crypto moves fast. By the time a YouTube video is recorded, edited, uploaded and pushed by the algorithm, the news is already old. On Binance Square, you see updates immediately. Market moves, announcements, listings, narratives, all happening live. For investors, that matters more than high video quality. TikTok creator Cloud9 Markets also pointed out something important. Retail investors are simply tired of getting rekt. Too many scams, too many pump-and-dump stories, too many influencers disappearing after promoting trash coins. Trust is gone. When trust is gone, views follow. Even MissCrypto called the current Bitcoin rally a “Ghost Town Rally.” At the time when Bitcoin was holding around $92,000, but public attention keeps dropping. This gap shows that institutions are driving the market now, not retail. Retail is either sitting quietly, or moving their attention elsewhere. Some are even shifting away from crypto content completely, looking at safe havens like gold and precious metals. Petr Kozyakov from Mercuryo confirmed that retail interest in metals is growing, and it’s affecting both crypto behavior and investor psychology. So where does Binance Square come in? Simple. It feels more real. Less noise, more signal. People want short, direct insights from traders, analysts, and real users. Not 20-minute videos repeating the same thing everyone already knows. Unless YouTube crypto creators adapt, focus on quality, honesty, and real value, the views will keep falling. The audience didn’t disappear. They just moved. And right now, many of them are reading, not watching.
CZ’s AMA BTC $200K:Crypto Market Cooling Off, Bearish or Bullish?
Since Sunday January 8, 2026 many traders was already losing hope. Bitcoin was trading below $90,000, around $89,300+, and fear was everywhere. X, Binance Square, even Telegram groups people was saying “this is end, more dump is coming”. Too much fear in market honestly. But crypto market like always love to do opposite. Instead of dumping more, Bitcoin slowly start to move up, step by step, creating bullish momentum that nobody expected. Now today we are seeing BTC trading close to ninety seven thousand plus, even touching $97, 900+ after CZ AMA January 14, 2026. That move alone changed whole market mood from fear to hope again. If you look on the market board now, big coins are green. BTC showing almost two percent up, ETH also moving good above three thousand three hundred, BNB holding strong near nine hundred plus, SOL also green. Even FRAX showing crazy move which shocked many traders. This clearly showing market is not dead as many people was shouting few days ago.
So question now is simple, crypto market is cooling off, bearish or bullish?
CZ AMA that was spoken in Chinese language bring many answers. During Binance Square livestream, Changpeng Zhao shared many honest thoughts, not hype talk. First thing he warned people strongly about meme coins. He said do not launch meme coins just because he posted something on X or Binance Square. Many people misunderstand posts and think it is endorsement, which is very dangerous. Most of those meme projects die fast, leaving holders with nothing. For beginners, CZ advice was very clear. Start small, learn first, don’t jump into futures or options. Futures destroy many new traders because of leverage and emotions. This is something many people ignore until they lose everything. About alt season, CZ said something interesting. Altcoin season is definitely coming, no doubt about that, but timing is unknown. Which coins will pump and how long it will last, nobody can predict exactly. Crypto cycles are complicated, not straight line. He also talked about BNB ecosystem, saying it is stable and strong with many builders still working. That’s why BNB price is holding well even when market shake. Long term, he still see BNB having potential. On prediction markets like Polymarket, CZ said they are still very early and illiquid. Only few market makers, mostly sports betting focus, so people should not overestimate them yet. Now the most big statement, Bitcoin two hundred thousand. CZ repeated again that Bitcoin will definitely reach two hundred thousand dollars. The only question is when, not if. This is long term conviction, not tomorrow prediction. After this statement, market reacted fast, BTC price jumped strongly, showing how powerful sentiment still is. About meme coins again, CZ said real meme coins must have history or cultural meaning. More than ninety percent of meme coins fail, so risk is very high and responsibility is on investor, not influencers. He also compared Binance Square and X, saying they are very different platforms. X have KYC problems if they want to do crypto trading, while Binance Square already has verified users. At the end, CZ said he hope meme coins continue growing but from builder perspective, not gambling. He focus on building better tools, smoother experience, not chasing overnight riches. So based on CZ concept, is market bullish or bearish? Honestly, market look more bullish than bearish now. Cooling off maybe in short term, but structure still strong. Fear from below ninety thousand was trap for many. Those who panic sold are now watching price go up. Crypto market always test emotions. Right now hope is back, green candles are back, and alt season talk is slowly returning. Whether we go straight up or pullback first, nobody knows. But one thing is clear, crypto is far from dead, and bullish momentum is still alive.
$BTC Bull Market Will Begin when everyone has given up.
When you cross check YouTube Viewership for Crypto Content is no longer working. People don’t like to keep watching crypto related content compared to 2021.
This is sign retails has given up due to market manipulation and many retails lost their money and then decided to invest into other assets.
