It might be hard to believe but I've been through this once already with the crypto stuff. See that little blip in 2018? That's around the time I got in. Between 2018-2021 90% of crypto projects fell off the radar, some of them forgotten completely. But what kept DOGE alive was its tight knit community - which eventually caught the eye of a few whales that pumped it into oblivion. (Quite literally - too much money came in too quickly, which destroyed its underlying culture permanently - but that's a whole 'nother topic.) Back then everyone thought of DOGE as a joke - but they owned the title of being the "joke coin", didn't let it bother them, and kept the spirit of experimentation going. Then one day - boom, a 100,000%+ ROI. From what I've seen that spirit of experimentation moved onto Tezos (better tech, more regionally diverse wider variety of members due to its exposure to art), where ambitious experiments are still being done today. So that's why I left the other projects and went all in on XTZ. Other chains have become too risk-adverse in recent years so it's hard for anyone to imagine it making a breakthrough like that - not to say that they're going to 0, but most coins are there for asset diversity rather than growth. A lot of folks are still waiting for Tezos to believe in itself and own its identity as the "outsider" coin. What's going to turn this around is a few key people who champion the project then the crowd will follow later. Catering to the masses from the start never really works. For what it's worth, I do have a habit of getting in early to things - ETH ICO, cryptopunks, DOGE, UBI, YIMBY, progressive politics (I guess they're called it "Woke 1.0" these days), improvisation in music schools, lots of random stuff too. Some of these things took a while to take hold but they're all household names now and some of them are even winning. If you want to make a difference, you have to get in early before the momentum leaves you behind - that's pretty much it.
