There's a real problem in this space when certain figures start operating like they're untouchable. The influence they've accumulated often outpaces what they've actually earned through contribution or innovation—it's pure hype most of the time. This disconnect keeps growing. When you look at what drives markets lately, it's not vision or fundamentals anymore. It's greed. Pure, unapologetic greed. People chasing quick gains, influencers pumping narratives, projects launched solely for profit extraction. That mentality inevitably catches up. It hollows out the entire ecosystem. Until we see more accountability and actual utility prioritized over personal wealth accumulation, this cycle will keep repeating. Web3 promised better. Right now, it's just replicating the same old dynamics with new technology.

To be honest, this statement hits the mark, but what I really want to complain about is... those projects that self-media hype up every day, but when you check their technical documentation, there's nothing there. Pure shell companies wearing a Web3 disguise.

Exactly right, these people just rely on hype to make a living, waiting to be exposed --- Web3 is still the same old trick, just with a different shell --- Laughing to death, is another harvest season starting? --- Really, now whoever shouts the loudest makes the most money, has nothing to do with technology --- The ecosystem has been hollowed out by these greedy ghosts, it's hard not to be disappointed --- Tired of this "untouchable" role, sooner or later they'll crash --- Is that all? I thought Web3 would be different --- Profit-driven without a bottom line, don't expect self-correction --- The market hasn't learned how to distinguish yet, keep getting cut again

Exactly right. Right now, it's just a bunch of influencers hyping up and scamming retail investors; no one really cares about the project itself.
