DeFi protocols promised a revolution, but rn it's more like a rollercoaster w/ no tracks. Just saw a tweet about Uniswap v4 buzz, but ETH is still struggling at $1.6k. Remember when ppl said DeFi summer would change everything? Fast forward—FTX collapse still haunts us like a ghost in the blockchain. Analysts on YouTube are split: some say it's a dip to buy, others scream 'exit scam' vibes. And then there's the whole SBF trial... like, how did we end up here? Keeps me up at night. Just scrollin' through, wonderin' if this is the new normal or the calm b4 the storm.
