Here's the thing about today's crypto landscape: hype cycles are dead. What actually moves the needle now is execution. Real, tangible products that deliver value, not flashy whitepapers or celebrity endorsements. The market's waking up to this shift. Tokens backed by genuine utility and working infrastructure are gaining traction, while empty promises keep falling flat. The narrative's changing—substance beats noise, every single time.

That's correct, but after looking at this round of market, it still seems like a bunch of projects are relying on stories to harvest profits.

To be honest, the era of bragging has truly passed. Now it's all about who can actually deliver results.

That's true, but honestly, this awakening came too late; many people have already fallen into the trap.

You're right, but frankly, it should have been like this a long time ago. Projects that constantly invite celebrities to endorse should have been gone long ago.

That's true, but the problem is that most projects are still fooling around. How many actually have real products implemented?

That's a good point, but what does on-chain data say? I see that the interaction costs for mainstream cryptocurrencies haven't decreased at all. No matter how strong the utility is, it still has to pass the gas war. The true game-theoretic equilibrium hasn't appeared yet.
