DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here we are, watching ETH struggle around $1.6k and BTC hovering below $30k—what happened to the moonshot dreams? 🤔 Remember when Aave and Compound were gonna be the new banks? Now it's all about regulatory crackdowns and SEC drama. Just saw someone on Twitter claiming all this is just a phase, but is it really? Meanwhile, the NFT hype is cooling off, and everyone’s talking about AI tokens like it’s 2021 all over again. Are we just chasing the next shiny thing? And what’s with that Dogecoin rally last week? Gotta admit, I still get FOMO seeing those green candles. But deep down, I’m wondering if DeFi’s real revolution is still ahead or if it’s just morphing into something else. Anyone else feel like we're in crypto Groundhog Day?
