DeFi protocols were gonna change the game, right? Like, democratize finance & all that jazz. But rn I'm seeing more chatter about hacks & rug pulls than innovation. $ETH still hovering around $1.6k, but does anyone else feel like we’re stuck in neutral? Scrolling thru Twitter & ppl are hyped on $SOL's recent pump, but can we trust these moves? Meanwhile, TradFi analysts keep throwing shade, saying we’re in a hype bubble. Are we? I dunno, maybe I'm just jaded... What's the next real breakthrough? Or are we just chasing shadows?
