Hesitation Persists Among ‘Normies’ in Crypto Participation

In a post on X, Autism Capital asked its followers what the general feeling towards crypto was like over the Christmas period.

“For all who are spending time with family, others, during Christmas — what is the sentiment around Crypto? Are people still burned? Are they curious? What are the normals saying? Are they discussing ETFs? Share here for all.”

Responses varied, including both positive and negative sentiments, as well as instances of resistance.
