Looking back at 2025, locking $COOKIE for a full year stands out as one of my biggest blunders.
Here's the thing everyone tipoes around—most people staking $COOKIE weren't actually chasing "governance power." Let's be honest, nobody was fooled by that narrative. The real draw was different, and we all knew it.
Beyond that, there's another hard truth: numerous MAF projects this cycle have turned into bloodbaths. The losses have been brutal. It's not just about one bad bet anymore—it's a pattern.
The gap between marketing promises and actual outcomes keeps widening. What looked solid on paper crumbled fast. That's the lesson 2025 taught me. Sometimes the safest move is recognizing when sentiment and reality have drifted too far apart.
