No one has crushed the dream of making it big in crypto. People have to look at Bitcoin's market cap and be realistic. When the market cap of the coin is 2 trillion US dollars, you can't expect the price of the coin to double because we have been collecting 2 trillion dollars since the day Bitcoin was created, so, it can't double every year, it's already too much. And I also want to say that institutional investors didn't crush the dream but they helped the dreamers. When the market cap of the coin is 1 trillion and institutional investors bring another trillion, the price of the coin doubles, so, where is the crush of the dream here? Now it's impossible to make big in crypto because old days when Bitcoin wasn't adopted is gone. Anyone could make their dream 10 years ago when the market cap of the coin was just a few million dollars, a money of an average millionaire person.


Based on your argument, those institutional investors sound pretty weak.

Retail investors brought in a trillion in market cap, and institutions only managed to add another trillion? Their financial power is way bigger than that. So what's stopping them, logically, from pushing Bitcoin to a $4 trillion market cap?
