DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here we are in 2023 and I’m staring at my screen like, what’s the deal with Curve’s TVL drop after that hack? People keep saying it's a blip, but blips don’t make my palms sweat. Meanwhile, Aave's just doing its thing, but is anyone else feeling like the liquidity pools are drying up? I read somewhere on CT that SBF still haunts us, and honestly, I don’t even know if that’s a joke or a vibe. Then there’s Solana, popping up in my feed about some new DeFi integration, and I’m like, can we trust it this time? It’s like everyone’s waiting for the next ETH upgrade to save us, but is it really a savior or just the latest shiny thing? I keep refreshing, hoping for clarity, but all I get is more noise.
