Coin Bureau CEO: This Is Why People Are Walking Away From Crypto

Is crypto losing relevance, or has the information game simply changed? Nic Puckrin, CEO and Co-Founder of “Coin Bureau” (2.7M+ subscribers), explains why crypto search interest never returned to 2021 levels, even after Bitcoin ETFs, institutional adoption, and nonstop mainstream headlines. In this BeInCrypto Podcast episode, we break down what’s pulling attention away from crypto (AI, stocks, IPO hype), how meme coin scandals shaped the public narrative, and why “altcoin season” has become harder to justify in this cycle. We also cover what crypto actually needs next: real apps with product-market fit, not more infrastructure. Key topics: Crypto search trends, AI vs crypto mindshare, meme coins and reputation risk, Polymarket and real use cases, payments and stablecoins, regulation and US clarity, perpetual DEX growth, “everything trading app” thesis, X algorithm debate, Telegram communities, Bitcoin vs gold and stocks, liquidity and macro, altcoin season reality, narrative rotations, geopolitics, and Bitcoin as portable money.
