hot take, maybe should have anonposted.. but:

seems that a lot of normie "dyor" boils down to:
- reading a complicated whitepaper/roadmap
- seeing that it's conceptually complex, failing to understand it fully
- using that as signal to invest: "sounds impressive, must ape"

projects are hacking this signal by:
- creating more conceptually complex whitepapers
- comically detailed/rigid roadmaps
- coining heavy terminology to mean ultimately simple things
- shallow integrations with buzzword tech - e.g. "AI agent"

it's ironic because the engineered complexity kills any chance for that "utility" to be adopted or actually used. and yet it's "bullish"

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

repeat of the 2017 ICO era

grifts and vaporware hidden under layers of unnecessary complexity
