Hot Take: Crypto Culture
I’ve been in crypto for almost 2 years, and I’ve noticed two kinds of people:
• Those who truly understand crypto and want to push it forward.
• Those who blindly chase quick money without grasping its ethos.
Here’s the problem: when the heart of crypto doesn’t understand itself, it chases the next memecoin, dreams of millions overnight, and narratives fail. Retention becomes a myth. Mainstream adoption stays out of reach.
Communities built on hype alone don’t last. Culture, storytelling, and context matter far more than price. Marketing is taken lightly, product-market fit ignored, and investor money wasted showing off.
Meanwhile, the ecosystem has:
• Farmers, reply guys posting AI slop just for clout.
• Big KOLs focused mostly on $BTC, $ETH, $SOL.
• True innovation discussed by few, often drowned out.
Yet crypto’s future is real. It’s still day one.
• Apple puts the Bitcoin logo on Mac.
• Governments enter the space (Japan issuing a yen-backed stablecoin).
• Elon & Trump fam bullish.
• Web2 giants building (Google L1, Stripe expanding infra).
Small, tangible progress toward mass adoption is happening, but the real change must be in people.
If most see crypto only as a money-making machine, WAGMI is a lie. Some will win, some will lose. That’s the ecosystem.
The challenge is building communities and narratives that teach, inspire, and endure. Choose the right side.

That's a wrap on IBW2026. Thank you.
This was the first year we ran three programmes under one roof: the IBW Conference, the IBW Institutional Forum and the Future Asset Forum. It was also our first year in Mumbai. The team worked for months to make these two days count, and seeing the rooms fill up made every late night worth it.
Thank you to every speaker, every sponsor and partner who backed us, every volunteer who kept things running, and every one of you who showed up.
