When did we accept this broken model where projects get tokenized without creator consent, incentives get misaligned with payouts to influencers, and the whole cycle becomes a manufactured FOMO pump-and-dump scheme?

It's become the most toxic meta in crypto right now. We're chasing clout over substance, hype over utility.

Maybe it's time we reset—back to authentic memes that actually matter, back to real technological innovation. The market needs projects built on genuine foundation, not promotional machinery designed to extract value from newcomers.

Let's reclaim what made this space interesting: real ideas, real builders, real community.

To be honest, the crypto world is already completely rotten now, and no one cares about this anymore.

Honestly, this mess should have been exposed long ago.

Honestly, the circle is already this rotten, no one should pretend anymore. --- Another call for "returning to the essence"... I'm tired of hearing it. --- I just want to know when we can shake off these vampire-like influence peddlers. --- It's always the same rhetoric, and then the next meme coin still takes off. So ironic. --- Builders? Go look for them, they've been drowned out by arbitrageurs. --- The problem isn't the model itself; it's that we're all too greedy. --- A moment of clarity passes quickly, and tomorrow we’ll continue to FOMO. This is fate.
