DeFi protocols were supposed to flip the game, but here we are, watching ETH struggle around $1.8k and BTC hovering at $27k, like a rollercoaster stuck on repeat. Some folks on Twitter are hyping a new "DeFi 2.0" wave (whatever that means), while others are throwing shade, calling it just another buzzword. Remember when everyone thought DAOs were gonna rule the world? Yet we're still trying to figure out if they can even order pizza correctly. Meanwhile, some analysts say Solana’s traction in the NFT space might spark a DeFi comeback—wishful thinking or the calm before the storm? IDK, feels like we’re all just waiting for the next Elon tweet or another SEC curveball to send us spiraling again. Why does it feel like we're all just holding our breath? Maybe I should dive deeper into that new L2 hype... or maybe I just need more coffee.
