DeFi protocols promised a revolution, but are we really there yet? Scrolling through Twitter and everyone's either hyped about that new yield farming project or lamenting the latest rug pull. $ETH bouncing around $1.8k, barely budging, and yet here we are pinning hopes on zk-rollups to save us from gas fee nightmares. Saw a post claiming "DeFi's dead," but then you look at Aave's TVL, and it's still holding strong. Hmmm, maybe it's just the bear market blues. NFT hype cooled off, but then again, remember when Dogecoin was a joke? Now Elon tweets and boom, moonshot. Do we just wait for the next meme? Wonder if the real revolution is happening quietly in the code, away from the noise...
