$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.
