DeFi protocols promised a revolution, but here we are, staring at $ETH dipping below $1600 again. Feels like yesterday ppl were screaming about $UNI & $AAVE changing finance forever. Now it's all about "SEC this" & "regulation that." Meanwhile, whales are playing chess while we're stuck in checkers. Saw a tweet about $SOL's new update—are we even still hyped about cross-chain anymore? Idk, maybe I'm missing something. Analysts talking about a potential bull run, but where's the FOMO? Is it just me, or are we all waiting for a sign that isn’t coming? Maybe the real revolution was the friends we made along the way? Nah, too cheesy. What's happening in TradFi that we're not seeing here? Need coffee.
