Wintermute CEO: Crypto developers and KOLs under 30 who announce their retirement are all scammers

Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy posted on social media that some builders and KOLs who claim to "exit the crypto industry" before the age of 30 have not truly engaged deeply in industry development, and their statements are misleading. Gaevoy pointed out that this group of people is often not long-term investors but chose to leave at an early stage, so it does not constitute a genuine "exit." He believes that describing brief participation as "exiting the industry" is essentially about gaining industry experience and reputation that do not belong to them, which is unfair to long-term practitioners. Gaevoy emphasized that the development of the crypto industry relies on continuous investment and construction, and leaving after a short-term attempt should not be packaged as a symbolically significant personal choice.
