Then boom—someone shows up in your mentions hyping up some random token with buzzwords like "revolutionary" and "based" slapped on it. Really puts things in perspective. The gap between what this space could be and what it sometimes becomes hits different when you see it firsthand. Nothing kills hope faster than watching people genuinely think a coin named after internet slang is groundbreaking innovation.
