I think we can probably declare crypto as failed now.

Note that I was one of the folks early on that bought into the idea (but not as much of the coins sadly) and I still think the Bitcoin white paper is a beautiful intellectual exploration (as is the concept of blockchains).

But the centralized entry and exit points in practice mean all the theoretical benefits aren't really in play.
