Recently, I was chatting with a few friends who have been long-time participants in the crypto space, and I found that everyone's enthusiasm for using crypto products has indeed cooled down over the past two or three months, even more so than in 2018.

What is the fundamental problem? The most lacking thing right now is truly user-friendly and engaging product experiences aimed at ordinary users. Having just technology and investment logic isn't enough; users need to be able to actually use it in their daily lives.

What about you? Have you recently used any interesting, fun, or genuinely profitable crypto projects? Feel free to share your real experiences.

Honestly, this circle is a mess right now, it's not interesting. Where are the truly useful products? They're all just copycat scams to harvest users. I haven't done anything recently, let's see how it goes.

Honestly, crypto products these days are really stupid, with terrible user experience. What are the big brothers doing? The community feels even colder. Back in 2018, it was actually passionate and exciting. Now, there's nothing much to do except watch the candlestick charts. We really need something that can be used daily, not just hype up the technology.

Nobody is using it anymore, even I have started to explore things outside of DeFi farms. Honestly, if it weren’t for sticking to the hardware wallet approach, I would have already quit the scene. Recently, I’ve been using a certain airdrop bot that’s pretty good, but I’m worried it might turn out to be the next project to cut the leeks. Right now, what’s really missing is a good product. No matter how advanced the technology is, if no one uses it, it’s pointless. Have you guys found anything that can be used daily? Don’t always stick to the same old crypto trading methods.

To be honest, we are indeed in a cold start now, but I think this is also a good time to淘汰 those trash projects. It's ridiculous, hearing people talk every day about the next billion user app, yet the user experience is terrible. Maybe it's because our group’s aesthetic has been poisoned; ordinary users really need something more straightforward. Recently, I've been playing with some niche stuff, not making much money, just for the novelty. Being quiet has its advantages, at least it allows us to see who is seriously working. This wave, I estimate a few truly reliable products will emerge, provided they don't get sucked dry by capital.

Honestly, there's really nothing fun anymore, just some insanely complicated stuff. I think it has to be something even my mom can use, really. By the way, have you guys discovered any dark horses recently?

Honestly, those who are still holding on are true believers; everyone else has already left. --- In the past two years, I haven't seen many truly good products; most are just repackaged versions. --- I want to ask, has anyone really made big money in crypto? --- It's even colder than 2018, which is true, but I think that's actually good—it raises the entry barrier. --- They keep shouting about making it easy for ordinary users, but most people just don't want to use it, understand? --- Wait, everyone, have you found anything useful? I really want to know. --- Bored to death, and now even the enthusiasm for chopping leeks is gone. --- So you mean we need another wave of a bull market?
