Ash Robin gives his take on the Kimchi coin drama "This is the kind of stuff that it's not great for the space, now I will say this, nobody had to buy any of these coins, all of it was speculation, but at the same time that stuff is not great" "There was nobody at any point that could have just been like he's hacked, or this is what's happening, or this isn't what's happening, everybody was just left in the dark, and then now that he removed all the posts and everything, nobody cares about it" "It does go to show that people are willing to buy stuff, but if you look at that chart, it went up and then it just died forever" "I don't blame anybody really, if I'm being honest, because just is what it is, when certain things happen and normies get into the space and then they get brutally rugged, they don't want to come back" "And that is something that the space is going to eventually either mature from or things are just gonna die off, this stuff is just gonna have a lot lower ceilings, and people aren't gonna care to trade this stuff because the risk to return is not there"

Ash Robin explains why people are leaving crypto for Pokemon cards and other TCGs "We've moved into this thing where a lot of people have come into crypto from meme coins, and everybody thinks that when people join, it should just be this steady uphill thing. But that's not what happens." "People join crypto, they stick around for a week or two, and then they leave. Why? Because it's too hard for new people to come in and trade this stuff." "Most people do not have a lot of money to gamble on shit coins that go to zero super fast." "This is another reason why so many people have wanted to get into Pokemon cards. You've been able to buy a Pokemon card and everything has just gone up over time. It's the exact kind of thing that people want." "Pokemon is physical, the No. 1 IP in the world. You can hold these cards for a much longer period of time, and these cards aren't going to zero overnight." "Most people want to just hold something that they like and see it gradually go up, and they don't wanna have to stress about it. That is one of the reasons why people aren't trading crypto."
