Once upon a time, cryptocurrencies seemed to be the trend. But now? It feels a bit stagnant.

Technological innovation has clearly slowed down, market narratives are constantly cycling and repeating, and the entire ecosystem is permeated with a sense of fatigue—even investors are beginning to experience aesthetic fatigue.

The question is: how can we truly drive a leap forward in the cryptocurrency ecosystem? What can activate the next round of growth? Is it the implementation of new application scenarios? Or breakthrough technological solutions? Or perhaps a completely new user experience design? These answers may determine whether the Web3 ecosystem can usher in a real turning point.

nah, empirically speaking—we've been recycling the same "next big thing" narrative for like five years now. the inflection point isn't coming from better ux or whatever, it's gonna be when institutions stop treating this as a casino. but hey, what do i know.

Stagnation? Wake up, this is the true nature of a bear market. --- It's the same old tired topic... As for real innovation, I've only heard about it. --- Instead of thinking about how to leap forward, better to watch out for who might collapse, that's the real way to make money. --- User experience? First, clean up the projects that are just harvesting profits. --- Repetitive narratives are uncomfortable, but honestly, there's still a chance to profit. As long as the market hasn't given up, don't overthink it. --- Next growth cycle? Bro, right now you should be focusing on how to survive the next bear market. --- Anyway, I'll just watch. When the mainstream institutions truly enter the market... that's when the story will need to be told again.

Honestly, this narrative cycle is a bit over the top; it's about time to come up with some new tricks.

Sorry to say, but discussing a "turning point" right now might be a bit too optimistic... the market is still bleeding. People say innovation is slowing down, but why not consider whether there's really nothing or if there are just too many vapor projects? Honestly, I haven't seen a killer app; it just feels like they're just hyping stories.

Honestly, I'm still waiting for the right opportunity, but no one knows when it will come. I'm tired of hearing the same stories over and over again. Use cases are not practical; everything is just armchair strategizing. I think there needs to be a killer app, otherwise there's really no appeal. The UX is too poor; ordinary people can't use it at all, which is the real problem.
