The crypto market structure is taking shape. What we're seeing now—early adopters, institutional players, retail waves—it's the natural progression that any maturing asset class goes through. Each layer builds on the previous one. Early believers establish the foundation. Institutions bring legitimacy and capital. Retail follows. The pyramid isn't a flaw; it's how adoption curves actually work. The real question isn't whether this structure exists, but whether the underlying utility justifies each layer's entry point. When fundamentals align with market structure, that's when things get interesting.

This explanation sounds comfortable, but let's look at the data—are institutions really providing liquidity, or are they just harvesting retail positions? The same was said in the first two cycles, but what was the result...

This pyramid theory sounds good, but the key still depends on whether the coin itself has real value.

Basically, it's like hot potato—early entrants make money, later ones take over. Isn't this the old trick in the crypto world?

This pyramid structure sounds nice, but I just want to know who is actually holding the bag?

The pyramid structure has been like this for a long time; the key is whether the fundamentals can hold up.

To be honest, this logic applies to anything, but the key is who is the last to take over.
