People often say flies are just annoying insects buzzing around your kitchen. But the truth is, flies are more important than 99.9% of all cryptocurrencies out there. Sounds crazy? Let me explain why it’s not a joke.
Why Flies Aren’t Just a Nuisance
I asked ChatGPT what would happen if all flies disappeared. Here are the key points with data:
- Food chain disruption: up to 60% of insect-eating birds and animals would lose their main food source.
- Organic matter breakdown stops: flies process up to 30% of natural waste; without them, sanitation and pollution issues would spike.
- Pollination loss: Up to 15% of crops in cold and mountainous regions depend on flies as pollinators.
- Scientific impact: About 75% of genetic research relies on fruit flies.
- Economic damage: ecosystem and economic losses could exceed tens of billions of dollars annually.
Bottom line — flies are not just annoying, they’re essential to the planet’s balance.
What If All Cryptocurrencies Except Bitcoin Disappeared?
Now, imagine 99.9% of all cryptocurrencies vanish, leaving only Bitcoin. What happens then?
- Millions lose money: holders of altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin would lose their savings. Those assets would go to zero.
- Stablecoins disappear: USDT, USDC — often used as digital dollars in unstable economies — would vanish.
- Crypto services shut down: DeFi apps, wallets, and NFT platforms built on altcoins would disappear, leaving millions without access.
- Bitcoin becomes harder to use: slow confirmations and high fees make Bitcoin impractical for everyday use.
- Interest in crypto declines: without innovation and usability, people would return to fiat or switch to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Who Really Suffers?
Primarily:
- Exchanges
- Service providers
- Developers
- Crypto companies
Regular people who don’t actively invest in altcoins? They won’t notice much. This would mostly be a much-needed cleanup.
But Some Cryptocurrencies Are Actually Useful
Yes, there are crypto projects that solve real-world problems and actually help people.
Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI)
Digital dollars — what’s actually saving millions of people from crazy inflation? Not tokens, not metaverses. Just a stable unit that:
-
Doesn’t lose 40% of its value in a month like fiat in Turkey or Argentina.
-
Lets people keep their savings even if banks shut down.
-
Works as a bridge between countries and people without SWIFT or $40 fees.
-
Often used for tax avoidance and cross-border transfers, making it easier to move money globally without heavy restrictions.
In Africa and Latin America, USDT is more important than the local currency. It’s the only crypto people really understand on the streets.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Digital gold. Period. In countries where inflation isn’t just a word but a way of life, BTC is a safe haven. El Salvador has already made it legal tender. Others are watching closely.
People holding BTC don’t believe in 10x gains — they simply don’t trust banks. And that’s honest.
XRP (Ripple)
While you watch charts, banks are sending transfers through RippleNet.XRP works in the real world: cross-border payments, liquidity, CBDCs.
- Transactions in 3 seconds.
- Fees are less than a penny.
- Banks, governments, and financial regulators already use it.
This isn’t a startup. This is infrastructure.
Stellar (XLM)
Like XRP, but for regular people. Transfers in developing countries, working with MoneyGram, wallets without banks.
Stellar isn’t about trading — it’s about sending money home for 2 cents. When there are no banks around — Stellar is the bank.
If we hit 100 followers on my Twitter, I’ll drop a list of 10 cryptocurrencies that genuinely provide value — if I can even find that many.
The Real Point
Focus on realistic metrics.
Don’t get lost in the noise: hard forks, flashy updates, empty hype. Most of these projects just want you to buy high and sell low.
If this market is mostly air and manipulation, then treat it as such. Stop believing it’ll make you rich overnight.'
Don’t fall for the “brilliant tech” trap.
I’m personally holding Arbitrum at a $10,000 loss for two years. At some point, all you can do is believe.
My Advice — Don’t Make My Mistakes
Forget the hype and the "genius" behind the project. Look at real data:
- How far is it from its all-time high?
- At what price did institutional investors get in?
- What's the actual trading volume?
