$SOL is 175 but trenches are pretty dead. Chain got hard-farmed kids mass-farming every meta with no shame or filter. Bundlers + 50K launches killed the vibe. Too many tokens, too fast. No time to care > just mint, dump, repeat. Scammers get glorified. People like M***y, etc. get celebrated. On Solana, scamming isn’t just allowed — it’s rewarded. Culture shift. Being lowkey used to be respected. Now clout-chasing is the norm. Flex is the new black. Pf changed the game, for better and worse. Before: only builders/devs could launch. Now: anyone with a keyboard and a Twitter can cook. (not saying it's bad at all, i actually think it allows everyone to make money but it's also part of the current situation we are, a year after). No vision, no product, no team... just gamble. Imo, what we need for a comeback: – Less worship, more accountability – Less quantity, more quality – Less influencer farming, more builder-first culture Study people like @LexaproTrader @_Shadow36 etc. Heavily respect their work. It's a massive win win situation for both them and their community. Everyone has different trading style, this is totally fine: you can be a builder / dev, a trenchor, a KOL working for your bag. At the end of the day, the current state of the market is just a mirror of life. A microcosm of real life, where we always want things faster, louder, easier. But speed without depth leads nowhere. We don’t need more noise. We need more meaning.
