I can only confirm it, crypto has really changed. There are now many more people who are interested in and using crypto currencys. There are now many more crypto projects or the whole ICO boom. Unfortunately, the number of scam projects and shit coins has also increased and that's bad for the crypto world. In addition, the anonymity of crypto is broken up by KYC and I do not like this development. So a lot has changed in the crypto scene and it will certainly change more in the near future. Hopefully there will be more positive changes in the future than bad ones.
