Does every major exchange push hype cycles harder than actual utility? Sometimes it feels like the focus is more on promotional campaigns than on building genuine value for users. The shilling never stops in this space.

The things in the crypto world... Speculating on concepts is always faster than building products, I'm already numb.

Crypto exchanges really only hype concepts, they are not very useful in practice.

I've seen through it long ago: exchanges rely on hype to harvest retail investors, while those who actually do the work are drowned out.

The exchange's set of incentive distortion logic, to put it plainly, is a variant of the centralized trap... Promotion cycles are short and see quick results, but building real value requires time investment. Which boss would do such a thing?

Really, over the past few years, the tricks of exchanges have become more and more obvious... Pumping and hype, air coins bombardment, and the features users truly need are often delayed. It's so annoying.

The tricks in the crypto world, to put it simply, are all about traffic being king. There are very few who actually get things done.

lmao the delta between exchange marketing spend and actual protocol optimization is honestly criminal. they're literally burning basis points on influencer campaigns when they could be compressing calldata and extracting real value. ngmi energy tbh
