EYES OPENING FACTS OF ALL CRYPROS

🔥 1. Over 25,000 Cryptocurrencies Exist (But Most Are Useless)

As of 2025, there are more than 25,000 cryptocurrencies listed on platforms like CoinMarketCap. But:

90%+ have little to no trading volume.

Many are abandoned projects, scams, or meme coins with no utility.

💸 Lost Bitcoin = Vanished Wealth

It's estimated that over 3 million Bitcoins are permanently lost due to forgotten keys, lost wallets, or death without access recovery.

That’s roughly $150 billion+ worth (at ~$50K/BTC).

🐳 Crypto Whales Control the Market

A small number of wallets (called whales) control over 40% of Bitcoin's supply.

Price manipulation or "pump and dumps" by these whales still happen in less regulated markets.

🌍 Bitcoin Uses More Energy Than Some Countries

Bitcoin mining consumes more energy than entire countries like Argentina or the Netherlands.

Efforts are underway to shift toward greener mining, but it’s still a hot topic.

🚀 Crypto Market Cap > $2 Trillion

At its peak, the total crypto market cap went beyond $3 trillion — more than Apple or Saudi Aramco. It’s now stabilized around $2T–$2.5T in 2025.

🕵️ Crypto Isn’t as Anonymous as You Think

While Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous, blockchains are public.

Chain analysis firms (like Chainalysis, Elliptic) help governments and companies track crypto transactions for compliance and crime.

🌐 Countries Are Adopting Crypto (and Banning It Too)

El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender.

Other countries, like China, have banned crypto mining and trading multiple times.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are being tested globally.

⛓️ Ethereum = More Than Just a Coin

Ethereum powers DeFi (Decentralized Finance), NFTs, DAOs, and smart contracts.

It's like the app store of the blockchain world.
🧠 You Can Lose It All in Seconds

Billions lost to hacks, scams, and rug pulls.

From Mt. Gox to FTX, even large players can vanish overnight.

“Not your keys, not your crypto” still holds true.
