The story of Do Kwon leaves many mixed emotions in the crypto world.
He went from being seen as a genius and a reference point to becoming an example of how power, ambition, and lack of responsibility can bring everything down.
Beyond the headlines and the fraud for which he was sentenced, there are thousands of people who trusted, invested their savings, and saw their peace of mind disappear. That is what hurts the most.
This case reminds us that in cryptocurrencies —as in life— not everything that glitters is gold. Trust is fragile, transparency is key, and no project, no matter how big it seems, is above ethics.
Learning, questioning, and not idealizing anyone is also part of maturing on this journey.
May the story of Do Kwon serve as a lesson, not as mockery.
In crypto, responsibility matters... and a lot.
