What Comes After Crypto?
As we all know, in the last decade, crypto has stolen the spotlight like sparks lighting up a dark night. However, like the wind, the future of financial technology is constantly in motion, and not everyone is convinced that crypto will continue to take center stage on the world stage. The question arises: what comes after crypto?
Imagine today's financial world as a choppy sea. On one side, there are small boats trying to survive the crypto storm, while on the other side are big ships ready to take on a new era. Blockchain, the technology that underpins crypto, may remain the pillar, but the innovations it rides on could shift.
One such future port that is beginning to appear on the horizon is DeFi (Decentralized Finance). DeFi has garnered many passengers hoping to leave the traditional financial harbor, which often feels full of sharp rocks and waves of bureaucracy. With DeFi, the promise of financial freedom is in sight. But, make no mistake, there is still a long way to go, and not all sails will unfurl smoothly.
Meanwhile, there are many who say that CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) could be a breath of fresh air that fills the sails of the next boat. Governments around the world are groping in this direction, trying to embrace a more stable digital currency. They hope that, like paddling a canoe on a calm lake, CBDCs can provide better control without the wild waves of crypto.
However, it is undeniable that behind the scenes, Web3 is preparing a new map. The digital world increasingly feels like an unpredictable wilderness, but with this new technology, the hope is to reorganize the great trees of the internet. Web3 promises a more decentralized world, where users are kings in full control of their data and transactions.
But whatever comes next, let's not forget: financial technology is a wild horse that is hard to control. Like playing on a constantly moving wheel, the fast don't always win, and the strong don't always survive. Ultimately, the future of digital finance will be determined by who can dance to the beat of the times, not just who runs the fastest.

"Crypto: Between the Promise of Freedom and the Unanswered Reality"
Crypto is like a financial roller coaster-full of twists and turns, and if you're not careful, it can be nauseating. However, for some, it's not about stability; it's about freedom, innovation, and getting out of the trap of the old system. But hold on, let's break down what's going on with this digital currency-without any technical jargon or confusing robot language. It's a human story, with everyday analogies that are easier to digest.
1. Bitcoin: Fading King or Still Shining?
Bitcoin may still be king in the crypto world, but there's one thing we must understand: even kings can lose their throne if they don't keep up with the times. In the crypto market, Bitcoin is often treated like digital gold-a store of value. But let's be honest: is Bitcoin really practical for everyday life? Try buying coffee with Bitcoin. Before your coffee is finished brewing, the transaction may not be complete. What good is it if it can only be seen, but hardly used?
Bitcoin is now like a celebrity that was once victorious, but is now losing relevance. Yes, it's big and influential, but its practical appeal for daily transactions? Not so much.
2. Bitcoin Cash: The Solution That Hasn't Been Found
Well, this is where Bitcoin Cash (BCH) comes in. BCH came with the promise of overcoming Bitcoin's weaknesses with faster and cheaper transactions. But, to this day, BCH is still like a sports car without fuel-it looks cool, but it's not going anywhere.
Physical traders? Few are still using it. Online stores? Not many support BCH, and even if they do, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or stablecoins are preferred because of their extra functionality. So, where does BCH stand? It's like a shortcut that turns out to be a dead end.
3. Ethereum: More than Just a Currency
Ethereum is a crypto that truly goes beyond just a medium of exchange. Think of Ethereum as a smartphone; not just a phone, but a platform on which dApps and smart contracts can run. This is where we see real innovation-not just in money, but in the way we transact and manage assets.
But, even technology as great as this has its problems. Transaction fees on Ethereum can be a headache, especially when the network is congested. It's like a toll road that promises fast travel, but every time you enter, you have to pay. If there's no solution to lower these fees, Ethereum could lose its fans who want efficiency.
4. Stablecoins: A Reasonable Solution, but There's a "But"
Stablecoins like USDC are a logical choice for those who don't like the drama of volatility. It's like keeping your money in the bank, but with a crypto twist. The value is stable, and you know exactly what you're getting. There are no price spikes to stress you out.
However, behind the convenience is a big irony. Stablecoins rely on fiat reserves, a currency that crypto enthusiasts should want to avoid. So, stablecoins are basically like promising freedom from fiat, but still holding on to the fiat rope.
5. Crypto Adoption: Between Dream and Reality
Many crypto enthusiasts dream about a future where crypto replaces fiat money entirely. However, the reality on the ground is much more complicated. Ordinary people aren't interested in advanced blockchain technology or the decentralization it promises. They only care about whether they can buy things easily and cheaply.
Until crypto can fulfill that need without complications, it will remain a luxury item for a small percentage of people. It's like having a state-of-the-art race car but not being able to find the right roads to drive it.
Maybe it's a case of hope and reality. Crypto, in all its glory, is a world full of promise. But, like all great promises, there is a gap between dreams and reality. Will crypto change the world? Maybe. But right now, most of us are just waiting and watching, hoping this crypto train doesn't derail at the next corner.
Ultimately, crypto is about finding a balance-between financial freedom and stability, between innovation and practical adoption. Right now, we're still in the phase where everything seems exciting, but when the dust settles, we'll see what really works for the real world. And, like humans who are always looking for the best solution, we should remain critical and cautious before putting all our eggs in this digital basket.

"As the world grows darker with uncertainty, people run after the light they think is safe. But behind that 21 million (BTC) hope lies the greatest test: between greed and trust, between wealth and pride."

- Crypto is no longer an "escape" from global economic turmoil.
- Trump's policies such as export tariffs affect the real sector and stocks more than crypto directly.
- The crypto market is speculative and vulnerable to non-economic factors (sentiment, manipulation, and regulation).

The biggest lie of crypto projects.
Decentralization is the basic nature/concept of crypto existence, but the funny thing is that most crypto projects are not fully decentralized where everyone creates their own terms/rules. So do current crypto projects deserve the word decentralization?
The reality is very clear, many crypto projects today are not truly decentralized.
Here are some of the main reasons crypto projects don't deserve to be called crypto projects that are supposed to be decentralized:
1. Influence of Development Team & Early Investors
Many crypto projects are still controlled by a core team or early investors who own a large portion of tokens, allowing them to influence decisions on the network.
2. Not Fully Open Governance
Despite the concept of DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), in practice, voting in large projects is still influenced by the largest token holders, which are often the core team or venture capital (VC).
3. Networks that Still Depend on Certain Entities
Some blockchains still rely on infrastructure controlled by certain entities, such as nodes owned by a handful of parties or servers managed by certain companies.
4. Developer-Driven Rules
Many projects have mechanisms that allow the core team to change the rules at any time, which goes against the principle of true decentralization. This happens a lot with newer projects.
So, do current crypto projects really deserve the word "decentralized"? In theory, many claim to be, but in practice, most still have a strong element of centralization.
If we want true decentralization, then projects must meet a few key principles:
- Fair distribution of token ownership
- Governance that is truly community-managed
- Infrastructure that is not dependent on a single entity
- No authority that can change the rules at will
Currently, there are very few projects that actually meet these standards. Most are still in the grey zone between decentralization and centralization.

Crypto will not be able to replace traditional financial systematics, where in the end only the technology will be used. Why is that? Not because of its decentralization or anonymity, but because critics are unwilling to unite and instead compete with each other to destroy the increasingly pathetic existence of crypto.
The level of trust is the main benchmark in taking the word of adoption, and the general public, both the elderly and millennials, have already realized the level of lies in all projects that run in the word of crypto use.
Without exception...

The destroyer of the financial world is the system of monopoly money, and the form of monopoly money in crypto is #memecoin.
In Islam, money is likened to blood in the body-it must keep flowing to keep the economic system healthy. If money just sits around without being used or distributed properly, it will cause problems, such as social inequality, economic stagnation, and wealth inequality.
This is why the concepts of zakat, sadaqah, halal investment and fair trade are highly emphasized in Islam. Good money circulation will bring benefits to the wider community, drive the economy, and avoid the accumulation of useless assets.
In Islamic economics, this principle is also the basis for the prohibition of usury and the recommendation to invest wealth in productive and halal businesses. That way, the economy is not only oriented towards individual profits, but also blessings and mutual prosperity.

Increasingly, many games on Telegram feel uninteresting or too repetitive. In the past, it might have been fun because the concept was still new, but now many are just like that, lacking innovation. Are there certain games that you think are still fun or is it that developers can't innovate so there's nothing interesting at all?
Nisfu Syaban is the middle night of the month of Shaban, which is the 15th night in the Hijri calendar. In Islamic tradition, this night is considered special because it is believed to be the night where the record of human deeds for a year is lifted and replaced with a new one.

In the end, Telegram tap-tap airdrops are drowned out by the poor attendance of existing projects. Most of them are just public lies. The biggest Airdrop scam in 2024 falls on Telegram Airdrop.
Statements are made based on decisions, but often decisions change after they are accepted. When changes are accepted, more changes are made, and eventually thousands of promises are made and broken. The marginalized group of promise-breakers, who eventually run away when things get out of hand.

Airdrop in the year 2024-2025 is a lot of malnutrition and multi-vitamins. At first it looks good in the middle of the journey and at the end of the story it becomes a scam. The context is simple, if it goes smoothly it will continue and continue if not then leave immediately the existing traces.

Bitcoin Narrative 2025
January is the starting point for Bitcoin to be expected to soar after releasing 2024. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is already quite high and weakened again in the middle of this month. But it is still at a level where there will be a final rise towards a higher increase before it is anchored, towards a significant decline.
One hundred thousand US dollars is indeed a very unexpected achievement if it returns to the early days when Bitcoin began to be traded. In 2025 many predict that it will even reach a price level where the highest price of Bitcoin is at the level of $150 k. Is it still possible that Bitcoin will reach that level this year?
Currently Bitxoin is experiencing a decline where market conditions are weakening in the $90k range. Is this the end of the limit reached this year?
If we speculate and look at the time period at the beginning of 2025, where the month of Ramadan will train at the end of February. Then I speculate that there will be a sharp increase until April.
Bitcoin will reach its peak during late March and early April. So even if you still hope for future market conditions, for me there is a possibility that Bitcoin will really reach its highest value in 2025 to the value of the level that is widely predicted around $150 k. Only after that in the next month will there be a sharp decline to start a new journey towards the next upward condition in 2030.

Crypto has great potential, especially among the younger generation and in digital transactions. However, it needs to overcome many challenges before it can compete with national currencies on a global level.
While crypto could be an increasingly important alternative, especially in the context of digital and decentralization, it unfortunately does not yet have enough stability and adoption to rival fiat currencies like the dollar or euro in international transactions.
