DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here we are, watching ETH hover around $1.5k and Uniswap volumes doing a weird tango. It's like, are we dancing or just stepping on toes? Saw a thread by @crypto_guru123 saying DeFi's just in a 'cooling phase' but like, how long is this cooldown? Meanwhile, TradFi giants are dipping toes in, JP Morgan with their blockchain patents—what's next, Goldman Sachs coin? Part of me wants to dive deep into a new protocol like Aave v3, but then I remember the rug pulls of '21. Also, why is everyone so hyped about zk-rollups again? Like, I get the scaling thing, but will it really change the game? Trying to figure out if I'm missing the bus or if the bus is just perpetually late. Maybe I should just hodl and chill, but then again, that’s what I said last year...
