The crypto world is changing rapidly. As the market fluctuates, some people who were once prominent in the cryptocurrency circle choose to completely retire, while others still stick to the forefront of the crypto industry. With the highs of the bull market and the lows of the bear market, many people have made their own choices after experiencing fluctuations and wealth baptism. Where did those who left the cryptocurrency circle go?
Some people choose to study abroad and find a new career direction; some people immerse themselves in family life, get married and have children, and enjoy a simple life; some people may choose to lie down and live a self-exiled life, abandoning the busyness of the crypto industry. Some people even switch to other fields, start businesses, do insurance, engage in science and technology agriculture, etc. Although these people no longer work in the cryptocurrency circle, some of them still hold crypto assets and look back from time to time at this industry that once brought them glory and controversy.
In recent years, some very influential figures have emerged in the cryptocurrency circle. Many people have become ancient opinion leaders because of their controversial remarks or radical operations. Although many former influential figures have long since withdrawn from the cryptocurrency circle, their stories and figures still leave a deep impression in people's memories. The following is an overview of some typical figures and their current status:

Although these people have different endings, they have all experienced the craze of the crypto industry and witnessed the glory and fluctuations of the cryptocurrency circle. However, no matter what kind of life these former "cryptocurrency heroes" have chosen, they are all inextricably linked to their former crypto dreams.
In the future, when a new round of crypto bull market comes again, will those entrepreneurs who have left come back? This is always an unknown. The cyclical fluctuations of the crypto industry determine the mobility of talents in this industry. When the bull market comes, it often attracts many people who have left to return and seize the next opportunity; and when the bear market comes, they will quickly exit and turn to other more stable industries.
The crypto industry is full of opportunities and risks. Some former heroes choose to continue to struggle, while others choose to enjoy life. But no matter what choice they make, everyone still has to learn to "save themselves" in the end.
