The problem is that 99.9% of people seem to have lost interest in genuine projects that actually deliver utility, or even established memecoins that have survived multiple market cycles. There was a time when memecoins were part of the culture. They were fun, communities formed around them, and people genuinely believed they were participating in something bigger. There was humour, creativity, and a certain sense of hope. Not every token needed to solve a real-world problem, and that was perfectly fine. Today, much of that has been replaced by something far more depressing. The culture has become so obsessed with instant profits, manufactured hype, insider advantages, and chasing the next launch that people have almost completely lost the ability to recognise anything with lasting value. And I think that's one of the saddest developments in this industry.§ It`s reeeeeaaally sad. But at the forefront of this problem are the big voices in this app, constantly pushing projects, whether they're being paid or not, that are simply too new, too shallow, or too irrelevant to justify the attention they receive. I never give financial advice. I don't believe it's my place to tell anyone what to buy, and I certainly don't have a crystal ball. Anyone pretending to know exactly where a token will trade tomorrow is either fooling themselves or trying to sell you something. But when friends or relatives ask me what they should look for, I always tell them two things: "How long has the project been around, and has the team consistently shown up and delivered?" Not how many followers it has. Not how impressive its marketing looks. Not which influencers are promoting it. Not how much money it raised or how loudly its community screams about the next 100x. Almost all of that can be bought, manipulated, or manufactured. What you cannot simply buy is years of consistent work, a verifiable track record, and the ability to survive periods when nobody is paying attention. You cannot fake years of actually building something useful by launching a website and paying a few large accounts to promote it. That doesn't mean an older project is automatically a good investment. But it tells you something that a freshly launched token with a million-dollar marketing campaign simply cannot demonstrate. And sometimes these projects spend months or years being overlooked before people finally recognise what has been built. When the product, timing, and attention eventually come together, things can change remarkably quickly. The tragedy is that we've created a culture where people would rather gamble on something launched 15 minutes ago than spend 15 minutes understanding a project that has been building for three years. We used to talk about communities, decentralisation, ownership, and building something that could last. Now everyone wants to be early, but almost nobody wants to be patient. People haven't necessarily stopped looking for opportunities. They've just become so conditioned to chase immediate excitement that they've forgotten how to recognise genuine progress.
