Lately, I've been a bit annoyed watching the market, to be honest, the macro trends still transmit onto the chain: when interest rates rise, everyone's patience for "holding and waiting for appreciation" decreases, and positions shift from "betting for the long term" to "ready to withdraw at any time." You'll find trading becoming more short-term, slippage more sensitive, and more failed trades — it's not that the technology suddenly worsened, but that risk appetite has shrunk, people are more strict with orders, and cancel orders more frequently.
As for the so-called social mining, fan tokens, and the "attention is mining" approach, I see it more like selling emotions as computing power... Attention is certainly valuable, but it doesn't equal liquidity, nor does it mean someone will buy when you exit. Anyway, what I care about more now is: when capital is expensive, don't treat your positions as faith, keep some bullets, and don't clash directly with interest rates.
