DeFi promised a revolution, right? But here we are, watching ETH dance around $1.8k like it’s stuck on repeat. Uniswap just hit record low volumes, and everyone’s talking about some new layer-2 magic like Arbitrum. Are we just chasing the next shiny thing? CZ tweets and the market moves, but what about the protocols themselves? Saw someone on Reddit say DeFi is the MySpace of crypto—ouch. Meanwhile, TradFi folks are lurking, pretending they don’t care. Is this just a lull or a sign of something bigger? Maybe I should dive deeper into DAOs... or just grab more coffee.
