DeFi protocols promised a revolution, but rn it feels more like a rollercoaster of 'will it, won’t it.' Solana's back in the spotlight after that crazy NFT surge but ETH gas fees still make me flinch. Just saw a thread about regulatory crackdowns—doesn't anyone remember Mt. Gox? Prices bouncing like a hyper kid on a trampoline, and I'm sitting here wondering if the real revolution was the friends we made along the way. Also, someone needs to explain how a meme coin just pumped 300% overnight while serious projects are struggling. Is it just me or does this feel like 2017 all over again? Maybe I should stop overthinking and actually stake something, but then the fear of impermanent loss hits... ughh. It’s like every new protocol is one part innovation, two parts anxiety.
