Crypto Hype Train: Same Old Song, Different Day
The Usual Suspects Of course, the crypto bros are eating it up. "Injected optimism," says some analyst named Valdrin Tahiri. Right. It's always "injected optimism" until the rug gets pulled. And Christopher Perkins is chiming in about "rising on-chain activity" and "institutional interest." It's the same song and dance, folks. We've heard it all before. Lee's argument? Ethereum's got a "robust community" and is a "neutral blockchain with 100% uptime." Okay, first of all, nothing has 100% uptime. Let's be real. And as for the community, are we talking about the same community that's constantly bickering about gas fees and scaling solutions? It feels like every other day there's some new drama. And this whole "institutional tokenization" thing? I'll believe it when I see it. These big institutions move at the speed of glaciers. They're not exactly known for jumping on the latest crypto bandwagon.Face Recognition: Because Your Crypto Needed More Surveillance
The Face Recognition Farce Then there's this Fusaka upgrade coming up, supposedly letting you process transactions with face recognition. Seriously? This is what we're excited about? I'm all for innovation, but this sounds like something straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. I can just see it now: "Sorry, your transaction was declined because your face doesn't match our algorithm's definition of 'trustworthy.'" And what happens when someone hacks the system and starts using *my* face to make transactions? Suddenly I'm on the hook for buying a yacht with ETH. No thanks. And speaking of algorithms, how much are we going to trust this face-recognition tech? Will it be biased? Will it be accurate? Will it work if I have a beard one day and not the next? Will wearing a mask suddenly make all my crypto disappear? So many questions... Oh, and get this: Vitalik Buterin wants to increase the gas limit fivefold next year. Fivefold! That sounds like a recipe for disaster. More gas means more spam, more congestion, and more opportunities for bad actors to clog up the network. It's like opening the floodgates to chaos.Ethereum's "Engineered Liquidation"—Or Just Another Scam?
The BitMine Connection Oh, and here's a fun fact: BitMine owns over 3.6 million ETH, bought at an average price of $2,840. So, basically, they're sitting pretty regardless of what happens. And they hired Tom DeMark as a "strategic advisor," who conveniently shares Lee's view that the recent sell-off was an "engineered liquidation." Huh. Funny how that works, ain't it? Maybe I'm just cynical, but it all feels a little too convenient. Maybe I'm the crazy one here. Nah, I'm not. Plus, Ethereum broke down from its 220-day diagonal support on Nov. 13, 2025. I don't know what that is exactly, but it sounds bad. Offcourse, the bulls are "fighting back." They always are. Another Pump and Dump? Look, I'm not saying Ethereum is going to zero. It's got a lot of smart people working on it, and it definitely has potential. But this whole "to the moon!" narrative feels forced. It's like everyone's trying to will it into existence. And frankly, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the hype, the shilling, and the endless promises of riches. Maybe Ethereum will hit $9,000 by 2026. Maybe pigs will fly. So, What's the Real Story? It's the same old crypto game: pump it up, dump it out. Don't get caught holding the bag.
