When hype eclipses fundamentals, the market rewards confidence over competence. In an era where narrative beats data, those who master the art of illusion—shifting stories, repackaging ideas, riding sentiment waves—gain outsized influence. The crypto space has become a stage where conviction and spectacle matter more than what's actually building.

Honestly, this is the true reflection of the current crypto world. It's a brilliant statement... Stories are more valuable than technology. Who would have thought?

Telling stories can make money, but focusing on product development actually falls behind—what a damn irony.

In plain terms, the crypto world is now a big stage where those who tell stories win big, while those who actually get things done are overlooked. This is truly remarkable.

Actually, if we examine this through the lens of information asymmetry... the whole "narrative > fundamentals" thing isn't exactly a crypto phenomenon, right? it's just that blockchain made it *visible*. TL;DR: we're watching a centuries-old pattern play out in real-time on a transparent ledger. the caveat? once the illusion breaks, it breaks *fast*. sources: literally any market cycle ever.

In plain terms, crypto has now become a large comedy stage where storytelling makes money, while those who actually create things are being squeezed to death.
