Is crypto starting to fade?

Over the past couple years, crypto has felt a lot harder to make money in. It used to feel like people bought coins because they believed the future would be huge, so they bought early and waited. As long as the hype stayed strong, prices could get pushed up. But now the hype feels weaker. Money also seems more willing to go into things like gold and US stocks because they feel more stable. Bitcoin also feels like it has been moving back and forth in a range, so it is hard to make money just from excitement and noise.

Another thing I notice is the attention shift. A few years ago, a lot of funds and investors were all about Web3. Now it feels like everyone is chasing AI. When attention moves, money moves too. Smaller coins look even worse. A lot of them just keep dropping and there is not much buying support. It makes me think crypto might be heading into a long quiet period. Not that it will disappear, but it might not have those big runs as often.

I also have some worries about quantum computing. Not because I think Bitcoin will get broken tomorrow, but because it adds a long term question mark. I also spotted DCA in bydfi before mainly to make my buying more automatic and less emotional. Now I want to ask people here. Are you still holding long term? What do you think could actually make the market feel alive again?
