DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here I am staring at the charts, wondering if it’s more of an evolution. ETH gas fees are still high, and Aave's TVL just dipped again. 😅 Saw someone tweet that Solana's decentralization is like a cat herding exercise, which kinda tracks with the last outage. Meanwhile, some analysts are hyped on the zk-rollups, saying they’re game-changers, but am I the only one who feels like we’ve heard this story before? Maybe it’s just me being skeptical after that Curve DAO exploit. Are we in a crypto Groundhog Day? Just saw a meme comparing DOGE to the dollar and had to laugh... but then I paused. Is this it? Is this what Satoshi envisioned? Or are we just reinventing the wheel with more layers? Gonna need more coffee for this...
