Let's be real for a moment—what aspect of crypto do you think gets way too much hype? Is it the endless token launches promising 100x returns? The Layer 2 scaling narratives that never quite deliver? Or maybe it's the whole 'this will replace traditional finance' rhetoric we keep hearing?

There's always something in the space that seems to capture everyone's attention despite questionable fundamentals. Whether it's meme coins riding viral waves, DeFi protocols with unsustainable yields, or projects betting everything on buzzwords like AI or the metaverse—the crypto market has no shortage of overhyped narratives.

What's your take? What do you think gets way too much credit in this ecosystem?

MEME-2,4%

DEFI-0,5%

ngl, right now the most annoying thing is those projects claiming to be AI, which are just shamelessly riding the coattails.

I just say, who believes in the 100x story is a fool, but when we bottom fish, we still have to believe... Full position adding to faith, the last chance, this wave will definitely break through, getting back to break-even is right in front of us.

honestly? the whole "unsustainable yields" thing is just people not understanding liquidation cascades and MEV extraction vectors... most don't even know what they're actually farming into

Honestly, this wave of AI storytelling really blew my mind. Every project needs to incorporate some AI concept. It's really exaggerated; there's no practical application at all.
