Spent hours digging through trend tracking platforms and startup idea boards today. You know what's wild? The stuff people are actually googling for—smart closet organizers, cleaning management tools, everyday lifestyle solutions—has almost zero overlap with what builders are shipping in crypto.

The gap is staggering. Real users want apps that solve boring problems. Meanwhile, the space keeps pumping out another DeFi fork or NFT marketplace nobody asked for. Makes you wonder if we're building for actual people or just for each other.

That's why I say the crypto circle is just self-entertaining. They keep forking all day and still call it innovation.

NGL, this is the common problem in the crypto circle—constantly hyping the hot topics to deceive capital, no one wants to solve real issues.

This is a classic case of incentive distortion. A DeFi fork can quickly attract attention through liquidity mining, but the guy working on smart wardrobes doesn't get a dime. The game equilibrium has been completely disrupted.

ngl it really hit me. Every day I see those boring lifestyle apps going viral, while we're still in our own crypto bubble reinventing the wheel.

To be honest, the crypto crowd is just entertaining themselves... People are eager for smart wardrobes, and you’re busy creating the fifth DeFi fork—who’s going to use it?

To be honest, the crypto space is just self-hyping. Every day, people are hyping up the next 100x coin, while real human needs are being ignored.

It must be said that, based on data from the demand side of the market, there is indeed a clear supply-demand mismatch. According to statistics from Google Trends and user search behaviors, the demand for everyday life solutions far exceeds that for innovative products within the crypto ecosystem. Notably, this reflects a fundamental product strategy issue—the builders often fall into a "self-entertainment loop," prioritizing the preferences within the community rather than actual market demand. It is recommended that the industry refer to Christensen’s discussion on market orientation in "The Innovator’s Dilemma"; genuine breakthroughs require a reassessment of the prioritization of user pain points.

NGL, this is exactly the tragedy of crypto. We've been hyping ourselves up for so long and still haven't realized it.
